Enlarged Lymph Nodes: When to See a Doctor Ukraine - A recent video by Ukrainian oncologist, onkology_tur, is raising awareness about the importance of seeking medical attention for persistent swollen lymph nodes. The video, which has garnered over 3000 views in less than 12 hours, emphasizes that while swollen lymph nodes are not always indicative of cancer, they should not be ignored. "Don't worry, it's not necessarily cancer," says onkology_tur in the video, "but it's important to get it checked." The oncologist recommends that individuals who experience swollen lymph nodes that persist for three to four weeks should consult a doctor. A doctor can perform an ultrasound to examine the node's structure and size. If the ultrasound reveals any irregularities, a biopsy may be recommended to determine the cause of the swelling. The video also highlights the importance of seeking medical attention if swollen lymph nodes are accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever or night sweats. Early detection and diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment. The video concludes with a strong recommendation to seek professional medical advice to determine the cause of the enlargement. Onkology_tur's video serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of preventative healthcare and early diagnosis.
