Treatment Decongestive therapy is the most widely accepted form of treatment. There is no cure for Milroy's but the condition can be managed by early diagnosis and treatment. [lymphedemapeople.com]

Continued Treatment Your doctor may recommend: Compression garments: These fabric sleeves apply pressure to the affected limb to help lymph fluid circulate. [webmd.com]
