Though there are some suspects, doctors still aren’t sure what exactly causes lipedema. Unfortunately, not knowing the cause can make this disorder difficult to treat. Providing your doctor with as much information about your health and genetic history as possible will aid your doctor in determining possible causes and treatments. In many cases, there appears to be a genetic component to this disorder. This is because a person suffering from lipedema sometimes has family members who are also dealing with the disorder themselves. For example, if you are suffering from lipedema it is not unlikely that one of your parents is also suffering from the disorder. Many doctors believe that lipedema may have a link with hormones. This is because the disorder occurs almost exclusively in women, and is often found to occur during times of hormonal change such as puberty, during pregnancy, or menopause. Though the cause of the disorder may not seem important, it could be helpful for your doctor when deciding upon good treatment option.
