Today I'd like to tell you about a study by a group of physicians including Dr. Uwe Wollina in Dresden, Germany, including Dr. Uwe Wollina, published in the medical journal Dermatologic Therapy in January/February issue in 2021. The article is called: Cause and Management of Lipedema-Associated Pain. The authors believe that the causes of pain in lipedema are attributed to allodynia, exaggerated sympathetic signaling, and estrogens. This review article is important for the lipedema community as it provides more information about the pain experienced by women with lipedema.
