Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling discomfort in my lower limbs, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it's a bit of lymphedema. This condition will become more apparent as I age. I'm also unaware of how to treat it. I'd like to consult on how to manage lymphedema.Doctor's answer:
Patients with lymphedema need high-protein, high-energy dietary supplements to provide the necessary materials for the reconstruction of nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells. Early use of high-protein diets containing vitamins, phospholipids, and trace nutrients, as well as active dietary ingredients like Chinese yam and wolfberry. Rice, Qingxin (a type of lotus seed), dried tangerine peel, ginseng, lily bulb, etc. Avoid spicy foods, smoking, and alcohol. Early detection and early treatment. Do not use hormone drugs.
