Swollen glands, also known as lymphadenopathy, refer to the enlargement of lymph nodes, which are small, bean-shaped structures part of the lymphatic system that help filter harmful substances and support immune function. This condition is defined as an increase in the size of lymph nodes, which can be felt as tender or hard lumps under the skin, commonly found in areas such as the neck, armpits, or groin. Swollen glands can occur due to various causes. Infections are a common cause, with viral infections such as the common cold, flu, or mononucleosis leading to swollen lymph nodes as the body's immune response to fight off the infection. Bacterial infections, such as strep throat or tuberculosis, can also cause lymph node swelling. Other causes include inflammatory conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, where the immune system attacks the body's tissues, leading to swelling. Cancer, such as lymphoma or leukemia, can cause persistent or unusual lymph node enlargement. Treatment for swollen glands focuses on addressing the underlying cause of the swelling. For infections, antibiotics or antiviral medications may be prescribed to treat the infection. Over-the-counter pain relievers and warm compresses can help manage discomfort and reduce swelling. In cases of inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, specific treatments or medications may be needed to control the underlying disease. If swollen glands are persistent, rapidly enlarging, or accompanied by other symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or night sweats, consulting a healthcare provider is crucial for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.
