Understanding and Treating Pain in Lipedema: Insights from Recent Research
- Today, I’d like to discuss a study led by Dr. Uwe Wollina and colleagues in Dresden, Germany, published in the Dermatologic Therapy journal’s January/February 2021 issue.
- The article, titled Cause and Management of Lipedema-Associated Pain, explores the underlying causes of pain in lipedema, which the authors attribute to factors such as allodynia, heightened sympathetic nervous system responses, and estrogen levels.
- This review is a valuable resource for the lipedema community, shedding light on the nature of pain many women with lipedema experience and offering insights into effective management strategies.
- In today’s briefing, we dive into this impactful research and its potential implications for pain relief.
