What Should I Do if I Have Swollen Lymph Nodes in the Groin Area?
If the swollen lymph nodes in the root of the thigh are caused by simple lymphadenitis, antibiotics and intravenous drip can be used. Generally, the symptoms will gradually improve after about a week. However, if it is suppurative lymphadenitis, incision and drainage surgery is required, with regular dressing changes. In daily life, pay attention to a light diet, avoid spicy, greasy, and other stimulating foods, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
1. Firstly, anti-inflammatory treatment is required. If the enlarged lymph nodes in the inguinal region are caused by the infection of the soft tissue of the lymphatic vessels in the lower limbs, anti-inflammatory treatment is needed. Antibiotics and intravenous drip can be used.
2. Physical therapy can be used to relieve the enlarged lymph nodes in the inguinal region through local heat application, promoting venous blood return and lymphatic return. At the same time, local heat application can also be applied.
3. Lymph node biopsy, also known as excision biopsy, is necessary as malignant lymph nodes can metastasize. This method can determine the pathological type and guide clinical treatment, especially radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
4. In daily life, maintain a light diet, avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods, and eat more foods rich in vitamins, high-protein, and dietary fiber, such as drinking fish soup, eating lean meat, and fresh vegetables and fruits.
