Abstract: After a mastectomy a very common pathology for patients is to develop breast or arm lymphedema. The reasons are unknown. Lymphedema has described as a very uncomfortable situation that concerns many patients after mastectomy. Also, during chemotherapy these patients may develop generalized oedema, especially to the ankles, torso, and face. The most easy and painless way to treat this oedema is the Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD), with very good results to patient’s health.
