Vulvar lymph nodes

Lymphatic diseases usually occur in our neck and armpits, because there are many lymph nodes in these two parts, which are most likely to cause toxin accumulation. For women, the private parts may also have swollen lymph nodes. Many women may not care about their private hygiene, which can easily cause vulvar lymph nodes. So what should be done about the vulvar lymph nodes?

What to do with vulvar lymph nodes

When women develop vulvar lymph node disease, they need to receive timely treatment because the disease is very harmful to women and more serious diseases may occur if they are not careful. What should women do if they have vulvar lymph nodes?

1. Vulvar lymph node disease, if severe, requires surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is only used for diagnosis, usually biopsy or local excision, and some invasive surgeries are not recommended.

2. If the vulvar lymph nodes develop into malignant lymphoma, radiotherapy or radiotherapy surgery will be required. Vulvar lymphoma is a low-grade local lesion, so radiotherapy alone can be used if moderate or high-grade local lesions occur. Because the systemic recurrence rate of this disease is relatively high, chemotherapy plus radiotherapy is generally used.

3. Initially, one to three courses of chemotherapy are used. If the tumor achieves complete remission, radiotherapy is then performed at the tumor site to prevent local recurrence. Then, consolidation chemotherapy is carried out for two to three courses to achieve a cure. This can also prevent the recurrence of the disease and is of great help to the body's recovery.

4. Vulvar lymphadenopathy is a relatively common disease, and this disease may worsen, so when it is discovered again, it must be treated actively, which will help the recovery of the disease and prevent serious symptoms.

Causes of vulvar lymph nodes

Vulvar lymphadenopathy is a relatively common disease. Some women need to seek treatment on their own when they develop a disease because the disease may cause more serious harm to them. What are the causes of vulvar lymphadenopathy?

1. The occurrence of malignant vulvar lymph nodes may be related to local infection. Some bacterial infections, such as Helicobacter pylori, and environmental factors, such as the use of pesticides and insecticides, can cause the disease.

2. In patients with malignant vulvar lymph nodes, Epstein-Barr virus will eventually be found in the lesions of these patients, and the incidence of HIV infection is also relatively high. The occurrence of this disease is usually related to immunosuppression. Some patients with congenital immunodeficiency are prone to malignant lymph nodes.

3. Vulvar lymph nodes sometimes involve the reproductive tract and are part of systemic diseases, usually of two types: primary and secondary. The disease mostly occurs between the ages of 21 and 89, with an average age of around 58. The course of the disease is from one to 39 months.

4. After the patient develops the disease, he or she needs to actively receive treatment, because the disease may worsen and become a more serious illness or even cancer. Therefore, when the disease occurs, you must actively cooperate with the treatment.
