Lipoedema is a chronic condition characterized by the proliferation of subcutaneous adipose tissue with an inflammatory component and pain syndrome. In modern orthomolecular medicine, micronutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), which have pronounced anti-inflammatory effects, are used to treat this condition.
The mentioned substances help to:
- reduce chronic pain;
- decrease inflammation;
- alleviate discomfort and improve tissue condition;
- reduce the activation of immune cells involved in the pathological process.
Orthomolecular therapy for lipoedema is a complement to other treatment methods, including conservative and surgical approaches. In this case, liposuction is considered the only radical method that allows for the removal of excessive pathological fat deposits and reduces the need for prolonged conservative treatment.
Conservative measures include lifestyle modification, a diet with controlled insulin and sugar levels, physical activity, wearing compression garments, and lymphatic massage. However, traditional diets and exercise are minimally effective for reducing the volume of pathological adipose tissue in lipoedema, as fat cells function improperly and do not respond to standard weight loss methods.
Surgical treatment, conducted with consideration of the lymphatic system's characteristics and using specialized equipment, allows for minimizing trauma and achieving significant improvements in patients' quality of life. Studies show that after liposuction, approximately 65% of patients experience a reduced need for conservative therapy.
Thus, the use of micronutrients with anti-inflammatory properties complements a comprehensive approach to lipoedema treatment and contributes to more effective control over the symptoms of the disease.
