Most human lymph nodes are located on the neck, under the armpits, and also in the inguinal region. They serve as a kind of filter indicators. If any infection gets into the blood or the normal functioning of the systems is disturbed, the lymph nodes instantly report on the pathologies that have arisen. How does this happen? First of all, the lymph nodes increase in size. A change in state can be observed in one such indicator filter. Do not worry if there is no pain. Just this lymph node is functioning more actively than others.
An increase in such filter indicators on the neck indicates the presence of a sore throat or ear infection. The altered state of the lymph nodes in the inguinal region indicates inflammatory processes in the organs of the genital area. It may indicate fungal pathologies on the soles of the feet or wounds on the thigh.
