Please seek professional care
If you think you might have lipedema, please see a doctor. A clinical examination is the only way to assess whether you have the condition. Our What Is Lipedema and Symptom Checker pages can help you prepare for that conversation — they do not replace it.
If you are in crisis or have an urgent medical concern, contact your healthcare provider or emergency services immediately.
