Lymphatic Disorders
Lymphatic disorders affect the lymphatic system, which is crucial for maintaining fluid balance and supporting the immune system. Common conditions include lymphedema, characterized by swelling due to fluid accumulation, and lymphadenopathy, which involves swollen lymph nodes often due to infection or disease.
Other disorders may include lymphoma, a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic tissue, and lymphangitis, an inflammation of the lymphatic vessels. These conditions can lead to various symptoms, including pain, swelling, and increased susceptibility to infections, highlighting the importance of a healthy lymphatic system.
