Edema is the accumulation of lymph under the skin because the lymphatic tract is clogged or damaged, causing swelling, usually in the arms, legs or genitals.

✨ the main cause.

1️⃣ caused by genetics.

2️⃣ later, like

✅ cancer surgery that requires lymph node amputation.

✅ radiation.

✅ severe skin infection.

✅ deep wound accident.

✅ varicose vein.

✅ filaria infection (mosquito-borne)

⚠️ Symptoms of the disease.

Early 🔸 may still show no symptoms.

🔸 started swelling. Pressed and dimpled.

🔸 thicker, darker, harder skin.

🔸 If left, it can infect the skin or enter the bloodstream.

💡 How to take care and prevent

✔️ Keep the swollen area clean.

✔️ Lift your swollen arms or legs high.

✔️. Reduce salted food and fat.

✔️ Wrap a stretch cloth or put on a medical stocking.

✔️ Lymphatic massage

✔️ In some cases, surgery may be required.

📌 Important: If there is abnormal swelling, a doctor should be seen to evaluate and treat it correctly.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ของผู้ที่เคยเผชิญกับโรคบวมน้ำเหลืองหรือ Lymphedema พบว่าอาการเจ็บปวดและบวมไม่ได้เกิดขึ้นทันทีในระยะเริ่มต้น ทำให้หลายคนละเลยและคิดว่าเป็นภาวะปกติหรือเกิดจากสาเหตุอื่น จึงขอแชร์ข้อแนะนำสำหรับผู้ที่สงสัยว่าตนเองอาจมีภาวะนี้ ก่อนอื่น การสังเกตอาการเป็นสิ่งสำคัญ เพราะบวมน้ำเหลืองจะเริ่มจากการรู้สึกหนักหรือรู้สึกตึงในบริเวณแขนหรือขาที่เคยได้รับผลกระทบ เช่น หลังผ่าตัดต่อมน้ำเหลืองหรือการฉายรังสี หากพบว่าบริเวณนั้นเริ่มบวมและกดลงไปแล้วเกิดรอยบุ๋ม ควรรีบพบแพทย์เพื่อตรวจวินิจฉัยและรับการรักษาทันที การดูแลตนเองอย่างสม่ำเสมอจะช่วยลดอาการและป้องกันการลุกลาม เช่น การยกแขนหรือขาให้สูงกว่าระดับหัวใจเมื่อพักผ่อน การรักษาสุขอนามัยโดยเฉพาะบริเวณที่มีบวม เพื่อป้องกันการติดเชื้อผิวหนังซึ่งสามารถทำให้โรครุนแรงขึ้น สำหรับผู้ที่ต้องการออกกำลังกาย ควรเลือกกิจกรรมที่ไม่หนักจนเกินไป และสวมถุงน่องหรือพันผ้ายืดตามคำแนะนำของแพทย์เพื่อช่วยระบายน้ำเหลือง นอกจากนี้ การนวดบำบัดแบบระบายน้ำเหลืองโดยผู้เชี่ยวชาญ ก็เป็นอีกวิธีที่ได้รับความนิยมและช่วยได้จริง แต่ต้องทำด้วยความระมัดระวังเพื่อไม่ให้เกิดอันตรายกับระบบน้ำเหลืองที่บาดเจ็บอยู่ สำหรับใครที่ได้รับการวินิจฉัยว่าเป็นโรคนี้แล้ว อย่าปล่อยให้เกิดอาการเรื้อรัง เพราะอาจเกิดภาวะแทรกซ้อน เช่น การติดเชื้อใต้ผิวหนังหรือการแข็งตัวของผิวหนัง ซึ่งจะเพิ่มความเจ็บปวดและลดคุณภาพชีวิตอย่างมาก สุดท้ายนี้ อยากเน้นว่าการมีข้อมูลความรู้และความเข้าใจเกี่ยวกับโรคบวมน้ำเหลืองเป็นเรื่องสำคัญที่ทุกคนควรเรียนรู้ เพื่อเตรียมความพร้อมและป้องกันไม่ให้โรคนี้ส่งผลกระทบต่อชีวิตประจำวันในระยะยาว

MONTHS IN CHINESE 🌛
Today's vocabulary for Chinese learners is the word 月, which means "month" and can also mean "moon." It's simple to write and something you'll come across often. In our previous lessons, we covered numbers in Chinese—has anyone mastered counting yet? Just add numbers 1-1
