Lipedema is a chronic and often misunderstood condition characterized by the abnormal and disproportionate accumulation of fat, primarily in the lower extremities, leading to pain, tenderness, and, in some cases, mobility issues. While the precise etiology of lipedema remains elusive, it is believed to involve a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and inflammatory factors. Distinct from obesity, lipedema predominantly affects women and typically manifests or worsens during periods of hormonal change, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.
