This study aims to investigate the impact of a BMI-stratified intervention program based on the meridian-lymphatic axis theory on the incidence of lower extremity lymphedema in postoperative patients with gynecological malignant tumors at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months, and to validate the precision and effectiveness of this program compared to traditional CDT. Primary objectives: to evaluate the effects of this program on reducing the incidence of lymphedema, alleviating lymphedema-related symptoms (assessed via GCLQ score), improving patients' quality of life (assessed via LLQoL score), and enhancing patients' self-management behaviors.

Change in Lower Extremity Lymphedema Volume (Measured by Circumferential Method)
Limb volume change will be calculated using circumferential measurements of the lower extremity (ankle, calf, thigh) to quantify the reduction in lymphedema severity after intervention.
Baseline (before intervention), 12 weeks after intervention initiation
Change in Lower Extremity Lymphedema Volume (measured by circumferential measurement) from baseline to 12 weeks after intervention
Limb volume change will be calculated using circumferential measurements of the lower extremity to assess the efficacy of the intervention in reducing lymphedema.
Baseline, 12 weeks
Change in Limb Function Score (using the Lymphoedema Functioning, Disability and Health Questionnaire, LYMPH-Q) from baseline to 12 weeks
baseline to 12 weeks
Change in Quality of Life Score (using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30) from baseline to 12 weeks
baseline to 12 weeks
Participants receive personalized management based on BMI, combining meridian conditioning and lymphatic circulation interventions.
Participants receive standard lymphatic edema care (e.g., compression garments, basic exercise guidance).
Personalized interventions including meridian point stimulation, manual lymphatic drainage, and pressure care, stratified by participant BMI.
Standard care including compression garment use, limb elevation, and basic exercise guidance.
