Today I'd like to tell you about a paper by Drs. Allen, Schwartz, and Herbst called: Interstitial Fluid in Lipedema and Control Skin, which was published in the peer-reviewed journal Women's Health Reports in October 2020. The stated purpose of this study was "to determine if fluid accumulates around vessels and between skin fibers in the thigh tissue of women with lipedema." They also wanted to determine if abnormally permeable, or leaky, blood vessels were present more often in the thighs compared with the abdomen in women with lipedema.
