A member asked:
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
Lymph nodes can be palpable and at times can be visualized in certain areas in slim people. Likely is the adverb we usually use in medicine because nothing in medicine is 100% certainty. You should trust your doctor because if she thinks those lymph node is LESS LIKELY normal, she will order further tests for a definite answer. Take care.
