How to Diagnose Lipedema, it's not rocket science | United States | David Amron, MD

Diagnosing lipedema is purely clinical. There are no elaborate tests that need to be done to diagnose for lipedema. Considering both cosmetic and medical symptoms, Dr. David Amron has diagnosed thousands of women, but many of them come in already having correctly self diagnosed.
It's not just overweight women who have lipedema. There are several thin patients ranging from models to athletes who have lipedema. It's important to understand the disease as a fat disorder rather than a weight disorder. Dr. David Amron has treated several patients who weight 120 pounds and under with lipedema.
Every day more and more women are discovering they have Lipedema and will go on a search on how to understand this disease that they've been suffering with their entire lives. Moment to moment, they will go "Ah! Ha!" It’s so important for medical providers to share accurate information about this lipedema. Lipedema is a treatable disease and can be easily diagnosed. Dr. David Amron, lipedema surgeon and pioneer, talks about everything from treatments, stages, diagnosis, diet, and the truths behind how many liters of fat should be removed.
Lipedema is a complicated disorder that many doctors are unaware of. Until recently, Lipedema has been a troubling medical mystery, so most women have had to live with it. Many of the patients Dr. Amron sees have been to numerous physicians, but never received a proper evaluation or diagnosis. However, there are answers and an effective treatment.
Lipedema is a progressive disease. The sooner it is treated the better for your quality of life.

Lipedema occurs almost exclusively in women and usually appears after puberty, progressively getting worse. It affects approximately 11 percent of the female population - 17 million in the U.S. and 370 million women worldwide. Commonly, there's a genetic inheritance component to Lipedema.
As Lipedema progresses, patients experience a series of symptoms including, discomfort, pain, heaviness and numbness. These symptoms get increasingly worse and begin to affect a person's mobility and quality of life, causing decreased ability to move as easily, usually affecting the ability to exercise, too. At later stages, it can even put patients in a wheelchair, or possibly make them bedridden.

I thought it was just MS taking away my ability to walk. Meds that caused weight gain, this less activity from pain,... A painful cycle. But after they couldn't locate any new lesions in hospital, doctors dropped the ball, leaving me to find my own diagnosis. Well this answers my questions! My mom, grandma, and other relatives through history had it. I have it. 😣

Not rocket science indeed. I diagnosed myself. Wasn’t that hard. My doctors never put 1 + 1 + 1 together. My grandmother, mother and myself. Doesn’t take a genius to see the pattern yet NEVER a word was said about it from any Dr.
Thanks for putting out this info!

Thank you for sharing. Yes, hopefully we can set a standard for healthcare providers to start to connect the dots.
