Swollen lymph nodes

Inflammation of the lymph glands can occur due to several reasons. The most common cause is infection. Consult your doctor if inflammation occurs in your lymph glands and you do not know why inflammation has occurred in them, or if the inflammation in the lymph glands due to infection does not heal within two weeks. (Sometimes called lymph nodes) occur throughout the body. The lymphatic glands that are close to each other are often in groups or chains. For example, the lymph glands on the side of the neck, axilla and pelvis are in groups. However, many other places in the body have lymph glands.

The lymphatic glands are joined together by a network of lymph channels. Lymph is a fluid that forms between the cells of the body. This water liquid travels through various lymphatic glands into the lymph channels and eventually drains into the blood stream.

Lymphatic and lymphatic glands the immune system. Are the major part of. They contain white blood cells (lymphocytes) and antibodies that protect the body against infection.

Why the lymphatic glands swell?

 The lymph glands are usually pea-sized. You can sometimes feel them as lumps under the skin. People often feel their lymph glands in the neck. The lymph glands under the skin are more noticeable and easier to feel if they cause inflammation. They can be of the size of a stone or even larger.

You cannot see or feel the lymphatic glands deep in the chest or abdomen (abdomen), if swelling occurs in them.

The lymph glands can become inflamed due to the following reasons:

Infection – most common cause

The lymphatic glands near an infection quickly swell and become soft while fighting the germs (bacteria, viruses, etc.) of the immune system. When the infection ceases, the lymphatic glands usually return to their normal pea size. It may take a week or longer for the lymph glands to slowly return to normal after infection. Examples include the following:

• Throat infections (throat infections), tonsillitis (tonsillitis), the common cold (common cold) and tooth-related infections can be caused by lymph glands in the neck.
• Head skin or head lice (head lice) may also cause swelling of the lymph glands in the back of the head.
• Infection of the skin of the arm can cause swelling of the lymph glands in the armpits.
• Infections of the feet or genitals, or nappy rash (nappy rash), can also cause swelling of the lymph glands in the pelvis.
• Viral infections such as flu (influenza), chickenpox (chickenpox) or glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis) (glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis)) affect the entire body. Swollen lymph nodes have developed in different parts of your body, such as the neck, armpits, and pelvis.
• Cancer, lymphoma and leukemia – less common causes
• Some cells from cancer can spread (metastases) through the lymph channels by breaking the surrounding lymph glands. These cancer cells then grow and multiply in the lymph glands and the glands swell. for example:

• Breast cancer can spread to the lymph glands in the armpits.
• Throat cancer can spread to the lymph glands in the neck.
• Lung (lungs) and stomach cancers (colon cancer) can spread to the lymph glands, which you usually cannot see or feel in the chest and abdomen.
• Skin cancers (skin cancer) can first spread to the skin area involved in the lump glands.

Lymph and cancers of the blood systems (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma), Hodgkin’s lymphoma (Hodgkin’s lymphoma) and leukemia’s (leukemia’s)) can cause inflammation in many lymph glands.

As a rule, inflammation in the lymph glands due to cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia develops more slowly than inflammation caused by infection. They are painless at first.

Other less common causes include the following

Perhaps, swollen lymphatic glands may arise due to the following reasons:

• Reactions to certain medicines.
• Glycogen storage disorders (glycogen storage disorder.).
• Sarcoidosis (sarcoidosis.).
• Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (systemic lupus erythematos (SLE).
• Some types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis (chronic arthritis).
• Less common infections, such as HIV (HIV), Kawasaki disease (Kawasaki disease) and tuberculosis (TB) (tuberculosis (TB).)

Treatment depends on the cause of the disease. Swollen lymph nodes indicate various conditions, all of which vary in form and treatment. For example, the most common cause is viral infection.
