Can lymph nodes swell from hard constant rubbing?
About two years ago, I discovered a pea-size lymph node right in front of my left shoulder. I was not sure what this was, so I kept messing with it and rubbing it. The next morning, it was enlarged. I then realized that it was indeed a lymph node and that I had irritated it. A few months went by, and the lymph node was the size of a lima bean. Being concerned, I visited my doctor. I explained to her what I had done. Just to be safe, she orderd a CT scan of my neck and a complete blood count. The blood work was fine and the CT scan was fine. The CT scan report read that I had a "benign" cervical lymph node in my neck that was enlarged. More than likely, I had aggravated it to the point that it will never return to its original pea-size shape. I still find myself checking it.
What does bulky bilateral axillary adenopathy mean?
what is bilateral axillary adenopathy? In the medical sense bulky is used to describe lymph nodes that aren't just palpable (able to be felt with gentle massage of fingertips), they are obvious and large. Bilateral means both sides. The Axillar is the medical term for the armpit. Adenopathy is the inflammation/swelling of lymph nodes caused by infection or other disease processes. Therefore most common situation to find this description in would be a breast cancer patient with nodal spread to the axillar chain on both sides. The prognosis would therefore not be as good as a localised tumour, but surgury and radiotherapy combined could still radically treat it with luck.
Where is the best places for bacteria to grow?
Its not a fact that all bacteria find the body an ideal place to grow in. Bacteria are host-specific and substrate specific. They grow in places which are conducive for their growth. Bacteria which dwell within the body find it to be inhabitable because the body provides optimum conditions of pH and temperature, for enzyme activity, protein action and other metabolic activities. Also, living cells are a source for nourishment for such bacteria.
What take place in lymph lodes?
In your blood from your arteries flows into your capillaries. Most of that returns to your heart through your heart. Some returns through the lymph system. The lymph system carries lymph or a fraction of your blood through your system checking for pathogens. It brings them to the lymph nodes. The nodes check the lymph for infection. If the lymph nodes find infection, they start producing antibodies against the infection and inform the rest of the body that infection exist. They sometimes become inflamed when they collect bacteria faster than they can destroy it. Still, they stop it rather than let it go on through the body. They let the lymph go from the lymph nodes back to the veins and back to the heart to recirculate.

Lymphadenopathy is the disease or enlargement of lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are small round structures that are present all over the body. They house cells (most commonly white blood cells) that are involved in protecting the human body from infections. Lymphadenopathy can occur due to a number of reasons: Infections - the most common reason Lymphomas and leukemias - cancers of white blood cells in the lymph nodes and blood Cancers in other body parts that sometimes spread to lymph nodes Diseases of the immune system, such as lupus and sarcoidosis Other uncommon diseases The neck, armpits and groin are the body parts where enlarged lymph nodes are most easily felt. The appearance of lumps in these areas is the most common sign of lymphadenopathy. To find out the cause of lymphadenopathy, doctors may advise tests that include a fine needle test (FNAC or a fine needle aspiration cytology) or the removal of a part or whole node (lymph node biopsy).

A doctor can prescribe an antibiotic if the lymph node gland gets very large or painful. Under normal conditions, no care is needed because they take care of themselves.

Lymph nodes collect poisions or harmful bacteria laden white blood cells and allow them to pass into the body at a rate that the body can deal with them.
