Lymphatic abnormality, whole body suffers! Three different positions indicate different diseases! I advise you to check yourself

The human body is like a sophisticated and ingenious instrument. There are many organs like "signal lamp" and "dashboard", which can indicate hidden diseases in the body through their own changes, and lymph nodes are such "talking" organs.

Lymph nodes are made up of lymphocytes, like some small faba beans, all over the body, forming part of the immune system.

When harmful substances pass through lymph nodes, lymphocytes will fight against them, causing swelling, pain, and even ulceration of lymph nodes, which will send out disease warning signals to us.

And the disease that different position lymph node predicts is also different, below come to understand.

1. Abnormal cervical lymph nodes

Cervical lymphadenectasis is a common cause in general surgery clinic.

The cervical lymph nodes mainly collect the lymphatic reflux from the head and face, so when the head and face appear some inflammation, the neck lymph nodes may appear swelling and pain.

Common such as otitis media, sinusitis, tonsillitis, oral ulcer, pulpitis and so on.

In addition, tumor metastasis can also cause cervical lymph node enlargement, such as cervical lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer.

2. Abnormal axillary lymph nodes

Axillary lymphadenopathy may indicate inflammation in the breast, chest wall, shoulder and back, especially for women.

We should always pay attention to the changes of lymph nodes here. If there is abnormality, we should consider whether suffering from mastitis, breast cancer and other diseases, and timely check.

3. Abnormality of inguinal lymph nodes

Inguinal lymph node enlargement is also a relatively common phenomenon, which usually indicates lesions in the lower abdomen, lower limbs and reproductive organs, such as beriberi, erysipelas, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.

In addition, abdominal lymph node metastasis can also be caused.

4. Abnormal lymph nodes in the leg fossa

Foot or leg inflammation, such as beriberi, traumatic infection, may cause abnormal lymph nodes in the leg fossa. In this case, we should first treat beriberi or eliminate the infection of the wound.

In addition, the symptoms of lymphadenopathy and popliteal cyst in the fossa of the leg are similar, which is easy to be misdiagnosed, so it is best to make color Doppler ultrasound for confirmation.

The superficial lymph nodes in most parts of the neck, armpit, groin and so on can be self checked by this touch technique.

You can put your fingers together and use your fingertips to slide and press back and forth on the skin where you need to check to feel the changes in lymph nodes. This is a very simple technique, which can be used to check the health of your lymph.

Under normal conditions, the lymph nodes, such as the size of rice grains, are soft, smooth, mobile and not easily touched.

If the lymph nodes are found to be suddenly and obviously enlarged, with pain, hard or soft texture, skin ulceration and other phenomena, we should be vigilant and seek medical treatment in time.

Lymph node enlargement and pain phenomenon is actually very common, most of them are caused by some local infection, inflammation down, lymph nodes usually return to normal, so there is no need to panic.

To protect the health of lymph, we should start from the daily life. Pay attention to maintain a light diet, do not eat spicy things easy to get angry, pay attention to safety and hygiene, try to avoid injury and infection.
