Five years ago, the annual physical examination showed that the left neck was asymmetric and had a protrusion. Later, B-ultrasound found a lymph node nodule, 9 * 9mm. After continuous observation, about 2 years later, the B-ultrasound examination could not see it. In the recent physical examination, it was found that there were multiple lymph node images on the left and right neck, with the maximum of 10 * 3mm and 9 * 3mm respectively. The boundary was clear and the shape was regular. What should I think of such a result and what should I do? More worried, thank you!
Guidance:
If it is found that there are cervical lymph nodes, you can generally take medicine for treatment or infusion for treatment. Instead of eating greasy and fat things, you can eat more fruits and vegetables. If you take medicine for three meals a day, you should regularly review color Doppler ultrasound, and you can have surgery when you don't want it
Condition Analysis:
It also needs to be combined with physical examination. Do you have a history of trauma and infection? It doesn't need to be treated simply according to your description, but it needs to be checked regularly. There are many reasons for lymph node enlargement, such as inflammation, infection, trauma and immune system diseases
Condition Analysis:
If the cervical lymph node enlargement is caused by infection, the ultrasound shows that the lymph nodes are generally flat and the structure of skin and medulla is clear. If the infection is caused by tuberculosis, liquefaction or calcification can appear in the lymph nodes. If the cervical lymph node enlargement is caused by malignant tumor, the ultrasound examination shows that the lymph nodes are generally full.
Condition Analysis:
From the perspective of examination, the boundary of lymph nodes is clear and the shape is regular. Considering that it belongs to benign lymph node enlargement, we should first consider the inflammation of adjacent organs. Of course, it may also be lymph node inflammation, which needs to be analyzed according to other clinical manifestations and disease history. What we do now is to cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
