Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system clears away infection and keeps your body fluids in balance. If it’s not working properly, fluid builds in your tissues and causes swelling, called lymphedema. Other lymphatic system problems can include infections, blockage, and cancer.
Detailed explanation-2: -If our lymphatic system were not present in our body, we would not be able to drain the excess fluid, so our tissues would swell due to the accumulation of fluids and cells would literally drown, or become stagnant in the accumulated fluid and it would become the breeding grounds for infection.
Detailed explanation-3: -Primary lymphoedema is caused by alterations (mutations) in genes responsible for the development of the lymphatic system. The faulty genes cause the parts of the lymphatic system responsible for draining fluid to not develop properly or not work as they should.
Detailed explanation-4: -When the lymph nodes are fighting the infection, they often swell and become sore to touch. Sometimes cancer cells spread from where a cancer started (the primary site) to other parts of the body. They can travel around the body in the blood or through lymph fluid.
