Lymph node

Lymph node (lymphadenopathy) is a painless but enlarged lymph node that is one of the main symptoms indicating a problem in the body. However, swollen lymph nodes are not always a cause for concern. Some types of lymph nodes can enlarge in response to infectious or inflammatory processes and then shrink when they are eliminated.

Lymph nodes play an important role in the body's immune system. They are located throughout the body and collect lymphocytes - white blood cells that recognize and destroy infection and harmful cells in the body. When an infection enters the body, the lymph nodes respond by enlarging, which strengthens the body's immune response and prevents the infection from spreading.

Symptoms of enlarged Lymphatic organs: - Enlarged lymph node in the area. - Thickening of the area of ​​the body where the lymphatic vessel is located. - The skin looks reddened. - Swelling of surrounding tissue or blood vessels. - Change in skin color around the lymph node - occurs and intensifies over time. This is called hyperpigmentation. - The large lymphatic organ that can be felt may be tender or painful. Enlarged lymph vessels can also cause swelling in tissues such as the arms, legs, and face. However, lymph vessels usually do not increase in size because they are smaller than lymph nodes and are usually more hidden.
