When it comes to lymphoma, I believe that everyone is not familiar with it, because the incidence of lymphoma is not very high compared with malignant diseases such as lung cancer and stomach cancer.
It is precisely because of this that many people do not know what the signals when lymphoma comes to the door, so it is easy to miss the best time for treatment.
However, according to clinical statistics, the incidence of lymphoma is increasing year by year in recent years, and has become one of the top ten malignant tumors;
Therefore, I hope that everyone will understand the signs of lymphoma coming to the door in advance, even if only one is noticed, you must see a doctor as soon as possible.
1. Persistent fever
When it comes to this manifestation of fever, some people will preconceived that it is caused by a cold and cold, so they do not go to the doctor as soon as possible, but take anti-fever drugs, but if there is still no improvement after using the drug, and even have aggravated symptoms, they need to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
Because clinical cases show that when lymphoma occurs, most patients often have fever manifestations, and the fever caused by lymphoma is different from the fever caused by the common cold, first of all, fever is often accompanied by symptoms of loss of appetite, limb weakness, and secondly, the temperature will even exceed 39 ° C.
When it comes to why lymphoma causes symptoms of fever, the main reason is that the disease is getting worse and worse, and it is possible to be infected, which causes tumor fever.
2. Lymphadenopathy
Lymphoma refers to a malignant tumor that grows in the lymph node area, so when it appears, it is inevitable that the body will have the problem of swollen lymph nodes.
Moreover, the lymph nodes caused by lymphoma are not simply in the neck, but over time, the lymph nodes in the armpits, groin and other parts will also have signs of enlargement.
Therefore, it is reminded that if in the recent period of time, the lymph node area has inexplicably appeared a nodule with a medium hardness similar to the size of a soybean, and there is no pain when touching, then consider whether it is a symptom caused by lymphoma.
3. Respiratory abnormalities
The appearance of lymphoma can also destroy the patient's ability to resist the disease, resulting in runny nose, tonsillar enlargement, night sweats, weakness of the limbs and other symptoms similar to respiratory tract infections.
Especially if the disease is in a serious stage, patients may also have symptoms of sore throat, because swollen lymph nodes tend to compress other nerves in the body, and then abnormal pain sensations occur.
Therefore, I advise you that if you notice the above abnormalities, do not think that it is a common cold, and the correct way is to go to the hospital as soon as possible.
4. Weight loss
If there is no deliberate weight loss, but there has been a trend of weight decline in recent times, it is also likely to be caused by lymphoma;
Because when the malignant tumor occurs, the patient's appetite decreases, coupled with the fact that cancer cells are prone to continuous consumption of nutrients stored in the body, there will eventually be a manifestation of weight loss;
In particular, if you have lost about 10% of your weight in a few months, please go to the hospital as soon as possible for a detailed examination.
All in all, although lymphoma is not a malignant disease with a particularly high incidence, it is relatively harmful, and if it is not treated in time, it will endanger life.
Therefore, remind everyone that when the body inexplicably has the above several abnormal changes, it is necessary to consider whether it is a distress signal sent by lymphoma, and I hope that everyone will pay attention to it and quickly seek medical treatment.
