Lipoedema: When heaviness becomes a burden - holistic help for lipoedema

Lipoedema syndrome is a chronic disease of the subcutaneous fatty tissue that often goes unrecognised for years. It almost exclusively affects women and is often mistakenly equated with being overweight or obese. However, lipoedema is an independent, medically relevant diagnosis - with specific symptoms and treatment approaches. Many sufferers struggle with pain, feelings of tightness and a significant reduction in their quality of life. It is particularly distressing that the symptoms are often trivialised or misinterpreted - both in the social environment and in the medical context. Despite the term lipoedema - which suggests swelling (oedema) of the tissue - oedema is not necessarily present. Although this can occur concomitantly, it is not one of the typical characteristics of lipoedema syndrome.
