Swollen lymph nodes require stronger prevention of lymphoma

Lymphoma is a tumor of the endocrine system. Compared with other tumor diseases, the symptoms of lymphoma are more obvious. Therefore, by being familiar with the symptoms of lymphoma, we can actively and effectively prevent lymphoma . Swollen lymph nodes are a common symptom of lymphoma. Let's learn about the relevant knowledge of swollen lymph nodes to help us better prevent lymphoma in our daily lives.

Understanding the details related to lymphadenopathy, such as the site of occurrence, range of development, speed of development, symptoms and concomitant diseases, can allow us to prevent lymphoma in a targeted manner. Lymph node enlargement in one area is called localized lymphadenopathy, which is more common in nonspecific lymphadenitis, lymphadenopathy tuberculosis and metastasis of malignant tumors. The primary lesion should be found according to the lymphatic drainage area. Lymph node enlargement in more than two areas should be considered as systemic lymphadenopathy, which is more common in acute and chronic lymphadenitis, infectious mononucleosis, infectious lymphocytosis, leukemia lymphoma, leptospirosis, scrub typhus, brucellosis, serum sickness, connective tissue disease, etc. In the early stage of systemic lymphadenopathy, it may only manifest as lymph node enlargement in one area, and then the lymph nodes in other areas will swell one after another. For patients with a short medical history, continued observation is required. Sometimes systemic lymphadenopathy only manifests as obvious enlargement of lymph nodes in one area, while patients often ignore other less obvious enlargements. Therefore, a detailed physical examination is necessary to determine the exact location and range in order to play an ideal role in preventing lymphoma.

Some patients who come to see a doctor with "swollen lymph nodes" as the main symptom discover the swelling because of pain, while others discover it accidentally without pain. Swollen lymph nodes with pain are mostly caused by acute inflammation, often with local redness, swelling, heat and other inflammatory manifestations, such as nonspecific lymphadenitis; while painless lymph node swelling is common in malignant tumor metastasis lymphoma, etc.

A long history of lymphadenopathy often indicates chronic inflammatory diseases, such as tuberculosis infection, and other chronic diseases, such as chronic Gaucher's disease. Progressive enlargement of local lymph nodes should be noted as a sign of tumor metastasis and lymphoma. The primary lesion should be found according to the lymph node drainage area to actively prevent lymphoma.

I believe that through the above introduction, all readers have understood the diagnosis and basic symptoms of swollen lymph nodes. With this knowledge, I hope that readers can be more proactive in preventing lymphoma.
