LA JOLLA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–La Jolla Vein & Vascular, a leading provider of vascular health services in the San Diego area, is excited to announce their upcoming event today, the World Lymphedema Day Patient Education Event. This informative and educational function is scheduled to take place on March 6, 2024, in the practice lobby of La Jolla Vein & Vascular.
Lymphedema, a condition affecting many individuals around the world, is a chronic disorder that can have a significant impact on a person’s quality of life. It is characterized by chronic swelling of the legs, arms or in other areas of the body. The fluid is usually drained through the body’s lymphatic system, but the lymphatic system is impaired in lymphedema.
La Jolla Vein & Vascular is committed to raising awareness about lymphedema by hosting this special event, which aims to educate both patients and the general public about primary and secondary lymphedema, what it is, and how it affects individuals.
The World Lymphedema Day Patient Education Event will feature a diverse range of informative sessions and activities designed to provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of lymphedema and its effects. Participants can expect to learn about early detection, treatment options, lifestyle modifications, and the importance of proper management strategies for this condition.
In addition to the educational seminars, the event will include interactive displays, and opportunities for patients to speak to physicians and staff, aimed at promoting a deeper awareness and understanding of lymphedema. La Jolla Vein & Vascular’s experienced team of healthcare professionals will be on hand to answer questions, provide insights, and offer guidance to individuals seeking further information about lymphedema.
«We are thrilled to support World Lymphedema Day and hold this Patient Education Event as part of our ongoing commitment to improving vascular health and raising awareness about conditions such as lymphedema,» said Dr. Nisha Bunke, Medical Director at La Jolla Vein & Vascular. «Unfortunately, lymphedema is often underrecognized and poorly treated.
