Abstract

Lymphoedema and lipoedema are two different pathologies often misdiagnosed, and lack of guidance to health professionals on their proper management. The clarification of these two separate situations is intended to help healthcare professionals to better deal with individual problems and thus to better assist patients. Early diagnosis can change a patient's life while delayed recognition of the problem can lead to mental and physical strain. [1] Exercise is vital to preventing and treating both lymphoedema and lipoedema.
