Can lymph node surgery be performed? Can lymph node tuberculosis be operated on?

Lymph exists in various forms in our body, and its number is very large. Many people will have lymph node tuberculosis, which is a relatively serious defense system and a relatively common disease. Most lymph node tuberculosis will cause some lumps in our body. These lumps feel hard when touched by hand. So can surgery be performed for lymph node tuberculosis?

We know that the lymphatic system is spread throughout the human body. It is our body’s own defense mechanism and the last line of defense of our immune system. However, due to some unhealthy living habits, it is easy to cause lesions in our lymphatic system. Lymphatic tuberculosis is a disease caused by the invasion of Mycobacterium tuberculosis into the lymphatic system. In modern medicine, many diseases can be treated through surgery. However, surgical treatment is generally not recommended for lymphadenopathy.

This is because once lymph tuberculosis is treated surgically, it will cause serious external damage to our body and lymphatic system. This type of damage is often difficult to heal, which will make the wound difficult to heal after surgery and can easily lead to the spread of the disease and recurrence. Therefore, surgery to treat lymph tuberculosis is risky. So how should we treat lymph tuberculosis? We can treat lymph tuberculosis in the following ways.

1. Through systemic treatment, in daily life, you should pay attention to proper nutrition and rest, and you can take oral therapeutic drugs. If you are facing lymph tuberculosis that has formed a cold abscess but has not yet ruptured, you can perform a puncture to drain the pus to relieve the symptoms.

2. If the abscess is ulcerated or infected, you can perform a scraping operation on the abscess. During the process, you must be careful to scrape away all the tuberculosis diseased tissue carefully. Do not suture the wound and change the dressing in time.

Finally, it is recommended that patients with lymph tuberculosis can try to combine Chinese and Western treatments during treatment, and actively participate in auxiliary treatments for lymph tuberculosis. If the condition is serious, after surgical treatment, they must continue to participate in anti-tuberculosis treatment to achieve the best treatment effect. When participating in treatment, you must persist from beginning to end. Never give up or terminate treatment when the treatment is gradually showing results. This can easily lead to the disease not being eradicated and recurring. Finally, I hope everyone can recover their health soon and everyone can have a healthy and strong body.
