Can Fluid Retaining In Lower Abdomen After Lymph Massage A Good Thing?
My mother had lymphedema in her arm, and went for lymph massage. Now she is retaining fluid in her lower abdomen, and both legs. The doctor said this was a good thing, because it meant her body was fighting. How could this possibly be a good thing?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The treatment of lymph-massage itself is an irrational thing to do. This is not authenticated.
You should consult a Doctor first to see why this problem, There are many reasons and some are indicative of serious medical disorders.
also you will need a battery of investigations and treatment will depend upon the final diagnosis.
