Lymphedema Management in Jaipur | Advanced Reconstructive Care by Dr. Sushrut Kalra
Lymphedema happens when the body's natural fluid drainage system is disrupted, often following cancer surgery involving lymph node removal, radiation therapy, or injury. This can lead to persistent swelling, tightness, and discomfort in the affected limb, along with a higher risk of skin infections if left untreated.
Dr. Sushrut Kalra offers structured lymphedema management in Jaipur, combining supportive therapy with advanced microsurgical techniques when appropriate. Since lymphedema can range from mild swelling to more advanced, longstanding cases, treatment is tailored to your specific stage and needs.
