Manual lymphatic drainage and multilayer compression therapy for vulvar edema: a case series

Abstract: The present case series is the first to report the use of the MLD and MCT in the successful management of female genital edema. This report suggests that the vulvar edemas for these four patients treated with MLD and MCT seem to resolve faster than expected based on previously reported untreated edemas or edemas treated with different therapeutic approaches.

“…Other biologics, adalimumab and certolizumab, have also shown effectiveness in resolving cutaneous Crohn's disease [5, 6]. Multilayer compression therapy is also an option, as it has shown effectiveness in decreasing vulvar edema of various causes [13]. Surgical intervention may be required for vulvar Crohn's disease refractory to all medical therapies, such as in fixed edema [9].…”
