What harm does neck lymph blockage do to the human body?

The blockage of lymph nodes in the neck is mostly caused by pharyngitis, rhinitis, colds, etc. In addition, hair dyeing, scratching the scalp, etc. may also cause blockage of lymph nodes in the neck. Lymph blockage will affect the body's circulation, causing swelling and possible infection. The most serious case is death. Therefore, do not take the symptoms of lymph blockage lightly and go to the hospital for treatment in time.

First, edema

After the cervical lymph nodes are blocked, severe edema will occur. The severity of the edema is mainly related to the severity of the primary disease. Therefore, as long as the harm of the primary disease is eliminated, the edema will become obvious.

Second, swelling

It causes obstruction of lymph flow and swelling of the limbs, mainly in the lower limbs, and limited lower limb movement. In severe cases, the skin will become as tough as an elephant's skin, commonly known as "elephanthinosis".

Third, infection

Blockage of cervical lymph nodes often leads to the presence of local infection foci, which can prevent the diseased organs or tumors from being correctly detected. The lesions are prone to metastasize to distant sites and affect other tissues and organs, causing serious consequences.

Fourth, Death

When the cervical lymph nodes are blocked for a long time, complex fistulas are likely to form. Once formed, fistulas are difficult to cure and are not effectively treated with drugs. They are likely to cause a series of side effects, such as decreased liver function and damage to the growth of normal tissues. If the lymph fluid spreads to the brain, it can eventually lead to death.
