General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. As these lumps are about a year now without any increase in size, I feel that these could be non significant lymph nodes. However, to be certain, if I were your doctor, after a general clinical assessment, I would have advised you for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration ) of the involved nodes before deciding on further management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
