It can be painful and affect daily life, but there are things you can do that may help, according to the NHS. The exact cause of lipoedema is not clear but it is not caused by being overweight – you can be a healthy weight and still get it. It may be caused by changes in your hormones during puberty, when you're pregnant or when you're going through the menopause.
It can also happen when you're taking the contraceptive pill. Sometimes lipoedema runs in families and it is far more common in women than men. There's currently no cure, but there are things that can help and stop it getting worse.
Your treatment will depend on how severe your symptoms are and how they're affecting you. In early-stage lipoedema, you may have heavy legs, a narrow waist and a much smaller upper body. You may have a large bottom, thighs and lower legs, but your feet will usually be unaffected.
