Lipoedema UK

Lipoedema UK is a patient charitable organisation located in London, United Kingdom. It is a small organisation with three employees and generates an annual revenue of $2.5 million. Lipoedema UK focuses on raising awareness about lipoedema, a genetic condition affecting women after puberty. This misunderstood condition often leads to misdiagnosis as obesity, resulting in inappropriate and potentially harmful treatments. The primary symptom of lipoedema is the accumulation of excess fat in the legs, hips, and sometimes the upper arms, a symptom that can worsen with hormonal changes such as pregnancy, hormonal contraceptive use, and menopause. The organisation advocates for improved treatment options for individuals with lipoedema and actively funds research to better understand and manage this prevalent condition. Lipoedema UK strives to provide support and guidance to patients navigating the challenges associated with lipoedema.
