Manage episode 450309420 series 3393669
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.
