My friend is really worried about swollen lymph nodes?!
Question:
My friend is really worried about swollen lymph nodes?
She has one in her armpit and you can barely feel it, it feels like a zit and she says it doesnt hurt. She's had it for about 2 years now and the doctor said it would eventually go away. She also says she has three small ones on her vaginal lips (the inside). They also don't hurt and shes had them for a while too. The doctors dont seem to be worried but its constantly on her mind, anyone know why they don't go away? Shes overweight and doesn't excercise. I heard excersise helps lymphatic flow, could her lack of excercise be the rason these tiny bumps won't go away?
Answers:
I had swollen lymph nodes in my neck from having mononucleosis. The swelling will go down if she exercises because it'll help the blood flow through. If the doctors aren't worried she shouldn't be worried. They will always be swollen but the swelling will reduce after several years. Tell her to exercise...just take a walk for 15 minutes a day to get the blood flowing through her body.
