Hey, i recently got my lymph nodes assed by my doctor and she told me that they feel fine and that they are likely feelable due to me being slim. but why would she say likley if she was sure of them feeling fine and being feelable because im slim?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nodes are scattered throughout the body & usually detectable when not buried under tissue or fat. The neck and head are a common site for easy detection. Resting nodes are commonly about 1cm in size but can go to work occasionally clensing the serum and double in size for 6 weeks or so before shrinking some.
