I'm Dr. Frita and welcome to this daily six-part series on Wendy Williams Health. Be sure to subscribe and to hit the notification bell so you know when I drop each part of the series. In light of the docuseries, where is Wendy Williams? She and her family have revealed many of the physical illnesses that Wendy Williams is living with and that has created a lot of questions.

So in this series, I'm going to break down some of the illnesses, and today for part one we're talking about lymphedema Wendy Williams feet.

So Wendy has been talking about her lymphedema for years. You'll notice back on the Wendy show she started wearing flat shoes and now she's been pulling off her shoes on interviews on Zoom when people go over to her house in the docuseries, when Angela, formerly known as Black Chyna went to her house, she was quick to pull off her shoes to show us her feet, and what you'll notice is that her feet have the signs of lymphedema.

So you might be thinking, what in the world is the lymphatic system? You may think you have no idea, but you do. You know how if you ever get sick, like if you get a cold or a sore throat, you get swollen glands. These bean-shaped tissues right here like in your neck, or maybe even you've had some under your arms or you feel like a swelling or like a little bean-shaped object, or even in your groin if you've ever had inflammation, you feel a little swollen, sometimes tender or painful bean shaped tissues. Well, those are lymph nodes and those are part of your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, organs, and tubes that help to drain lymph and send it back into the main bloodstream.

So lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system as well as lymph vessels, which are like the tubes that connect the lymph nodes. When you get a blockage or some type of a damage to this lymphatic system, then that lymph is no longer able to be properly drained, and so you get a buildup in the soft tissues and you get swelling like what you see in Wendy's feet. Well, lymph is a colorless fluid that is protein rich and it's full of white blood cells like your T cells, your B cells that help to fight infection. And so when this lymph is going through your lymph vessels, it gets filtered by your lymph nodes and they contain these white blood cells that help to fight infection and even help to fight cancer. So it's really an important part of your immune system. Primary lymphedema really is not all that common about one person is affected out of every 8,000 worldwide, and women tend to be affected more often than men.
