What can a lymph node ultrasound show?
The examination helps assess the size, shape, margins, internal structure, and blood supply of the lymph nodes. It can reveal signs of reactive, inflammatory, or suspicious structural changes, but a definitive diagnosis is made based on the results of all relevant examinations.
How can you tell if your lymph nodes are inflamed?
Lymph nodes may become enlarged, tender, or firm, and the skin over them may turn red. Sometimes, fever, weakness, or other signs of infection may also occur. It is not possible to determine the cause of these changes on your own, so a medical examination is necessary.
How can lymph nodes be examined?
The initial assessment includes a physical examination and palpation by a doctor. An ultrasound is performed to examine accessible groups of lymph nodes in more detail. If indicated, the doctor may also recommend laboratory tests, a consultation with a specialist, a biopsy, or other examinations.
What is considered normal on a lymph node ultrasound?
Normal findings cannot be determined by size alone. The doctor assesses the shape of the lymph node, the ratio of its axes, its margins and structure, the appearance of the hilum, and the blood flow pattern. Normal characteristics also depend on the location of the lymph node.
Is any preparation needed for a lymph node ultrasound?
Special preparation is usually not required when examining the cervical, submandibular, axillary, or inguinal lymph nodes. It is advisable not to apply creams or ointments to the area being examined and to wear clothing that allows easy access to it.
Which doctor should I see for enlarged lymph nodes?
You can start by consulting a family doctor or general practitioner. After the examination and ultrasound, they will determine whether you need to see an otolaryngologist, infectious disease specialist, surgeon, hematologist, or another specialist.
