Brief analysis of common lymphoma symptoms from three aspects

Clinically, the symptoms of lymphoma can be manifested in three aspects: systemic, local and extranodal, which are extremely harmful to patients with lymphoma. What are the common symptoms of lymphoma ? Let's talk about the common symptoms of lymphoma.

Common symptoms of lymphoma include:

1. Systemic symptoms

(1) Fever: The fever is often irregular, usually between 38-39°C. Some patients may have a continuous high fever, or intermittent low fever, and a few may have periodic fever. (2) Weight loss: Most patients lose weight, losing more than 10% of their original body weight within 6 months. (3) Night sweats: Sweating at night or after falling asleep. These are all common symptoms of lymphoma.

2. Local manifestations

Symptoms of this type of lymphoma include (1) swollen lymph nodes: including superficial and deep lymph nodes, which are characterized by progressive, painless, hard, and movable enlargement of lymph nodes. In the early stage, they are not adhered to each other, but in the late stage, they may fuse. Anti-inflammatory and anti-tuberculosis treatments are ineffective. Superficial lymph nodes are most common in the neck, followed by the armpits and abdominal groove. Deep lymph nodes are most common in the mediastinum and beside the abdominal aorta. (2) Local compression symptoms caused by swollen lymph nodes: mainly refers to deep lymph nodes, such as swollen mediastinal lymph nodes, which can compress the esophagus and cause dysphagia; compress the superior vena cava and cause superior vena cava syndrome; compress the trachea and cause coughing, chest tightness, dyspnea and cyanosis.

Extranodal lesions

Lymphoma can invade all tissues and organs of the body. For example, infiltration of the liver and spleen causes hepatomegaly; infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract causes abdominal pain, bloating, intestinal obstruction and bleeding; infiltration of the lungs and pleura causes cough and pleural effusion; infiltration of the bones causes bone pain and pathological fractures; infiltration of the skin causes itching and subcutaneous nodules; infiltration of the tonsils and mouth, nose and pharynx causes dysphagia, nasal congestion and nasal knots; infiltration of the nervous system causes spinal cord compression and cranial neuropathy, etc. These are all common symptoms of lymphoma.

The above is an introduction to the common symptoms of lymphoma. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Once the symptoms of lymphoma appear, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid more serious symptoms.
