Kerry Katona diagnosed with lymphedema

Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona revealed that she’s been diagnosed with lymphedema.

Lymphedema is a chronic health condition that causes a build-up of fluid and swelling in the body.

I also visited Tam at body sculpting clinic Touch of Health for lymphatic drainage as I’ve been diagnosed with lymphedema.

The star shared that she has it in her legs, but she’s now on the road to recovery as she recently had treatment.

Opening up about her condition in her section on New!, the star shared that she had her “legs drained” shortly after her diagnosis.

Kerry wrote: “I also visited Tam at body sculpting clinic Touch of Health for lymphatic drainage as I’ve been diagnosed with lymphedema. Where your body swells due to a build up of lymph fluid.”

However, the singer may have to be operated on if the drainage isn’t enough to help it.

She added: “I have it in my legs and I might have to be operated on. I am hoping the drainage will be enough to help it.”
