Hey everyone! Today, we’re talking about the signs of lymphoedema and why it’s so important to catch them early.
If you’re noticing swelling in your arms or legs, especially with a feeling of heaviness or tightness, that could be a sign. Keep an eye out for changes in your skin texture, like hardening or thickening, and if you’re finding it harder to move that part of your body. Other things to watch for are getting infections more often or seeing a noticeable increase in the size of your limbs.
Knowing these early signs can help you get to a doctor in time, which can make a big difference in managing lymphedema and improving your quality of life.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha
I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon, and Medical Educator. After 20 years of helping people understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen first hand the fear, frustration, and stress that my patients go through.
As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment, and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.
But I’m here to help.
The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.
So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate, and reliable information from a trusted source – a Breast Health Doctor – all in one place.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my YouTube Channel.
