Lymph moves through the vessels of the lymphatic system and circulates in the human body according to the bottom-up.

Stagnation of lymph, or lymphedema is a condition caused by the violation of lymphatic drainage and accumulation in the tissue interstitial fluid. Lymphedema leads to increased permeability and rupture of lymphatic capillaries, but at the same time leads to the formation in the blood vessels of protein coagulants - blood clots. Lymph causes chronic edema, tissue hypoxia, disruption of water and electrolyte balance, and metabolic, degenerative and sclerotic changes.
