Treatment of diseases of lymphatic system

The lymphatic system of a man is the network from capillaries, vessels, lymphatic nodules and organs (spleen, thymus gland, adenoids, tonsils), which play the important role in protection of the organism from infections and in metabolism.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS OF DISEASES OF LYMPHATIC SYSTEM

The main task of the lymphatic system is to fight against infections; that is why one of the signs of infection in the organism or inflammation of the organs is the swollen lymph nodes.

 The problems with the lymphatic system are manifested by:

• swollen lymph nodes;
• sensation of pain when pressing on them;
• skin reddening around the lymph node;
• high temperature;
• weakness.

The lymph nodes, located on the neck, in the armpits or groin are most often inflamed; when inflamed, they can be easily palpated. In order to understand whether the swollen node is indicative of the illness or just its high activity, you need to consult the doctor. 

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF DISEASES OF LYMPH NODES

If you worry about the size or soreness of lymph nodes, you need to attend the family doctor for examination and treatment. The examination includes the analysis of complaints and medical examination of the patient, which may include the palpation of lymph nodes, examination of tonsils, laboratory tests (blood, urine test), ultrasound of the organs, which are most closely connected with the group of inflamed lymph nodes.

 The Family Medicine Department of Oxford Medical clinic precisely diagnoses and successfully treats the lymphadenitis and lymphadenopathy.
