The swelling occurs because of an impaired lymphatic system, which has not developed properly (primary lymphoedema) or when a healthy lymphatic system has been damaged (secondary lymphoedema), this can be due to a number or reasons including trauma, surgery, radiotherapy, infection, venous disease, advanced stages of various conditions and lipoedema
