When "abnormal nodules" are found in the body, many people may worry about cancer, but in reality, nodules can be caused by many causes, such as vesicles, blood clots, inflammation, enlarged lymph nodes, or different types of tumors.

Further examination with medical tools will help doctors assess lump type, severity, and plan treatments more appropriately.

An examination frequently used to evaluate nodules.

1.Ultrasound (Ultrasound)

Use high-frequency sound waves to create images inside the body.

Suitable for:

* Lumps under the skin

* lymph nodes

* Water bag

* Breast

* Thyroid

* Abdominal cavity

Advantages:

* Easy to check

* Doesn't hurt

* No radiation

* See the characteristics of fluids and tissues well.

2.Computed tomography (CT Scan)

Using X-ray rays, create a cross-section of the viscera.

Assess:

* Size of lump

* Position

* progression

* Bleeding

* Distribution of disease

Fits:

* Chest cavity

* Abdominal cavity

* Brain

* Deep viscera

3.MRI (MRI)

Using magnetic fields and radio waves, create high-profile images.

Suitable for:

* Brain

* Spine

* Muscle

* Pelvic floor

* Complex lump

Highlights:

* See soft tissue clearly

* No radiation

* Helps to separate the type of loaf more thoroughly.

4.Piercing or cutting a piece of meat (Biopsy)

It is the pathological introduction of cells or tissues from a lump.

Important to:

* Confirm the type of lump.

* Separate whether it's cancer or not

* Plan treatment

Some cases may use drill needles in combination with Ultrasound or CT Scan for accuracy.

Example of a lump appearance from a test image.

Water cyst (CASE)

Often characterized by:

* Smooth edge

* Inside is liquid

* Not advanced

Ultrasound is often clearly black because it contains liquid inside.

Chocolate Cysts (Endometrioma)

It's caused by the misplaced endometrium and old blood accumulating inside.

Characteristics:

* There's old blood inside

* The image signal is not as clear as a normal cyst.

* Found in the ovaries

Grown lymph nodes

Could be caused by:

* Infection

* Inflammation

* Or some kind of cancer

If lymphedema:

* Grow chronic

* Hard

* Doesn't hurt

Should be further examined.

Malignant tumor

Often characterized by:

* Uneven edges

* Spreading side tissues

* Irregular image signal

Sometimes a biopsy is needed to confirm the diagnosis.

Hematoma

Caused by cumulative bleeding inside the body.

Could be caused by:

* Impact

* Accident

* Muscle tear

* Internal bleeding

The nature of the test image varies according to the age of the blood.

A danger sign that should see a doctor.

Should be examined if found:

* Big ones fast

* Hard or uneven edges

More and more pain, swelling.

* Abnormal bleeding

* Weight loss for unknown reasons

* Multiple enlarged lymph nodes

* Chronic fatigue

Summary

"Abnormal nodules" do not always mean cancer, but proper further examination will help determine the exact cause and increase the likelihood of effective treatment.

Seeing a doctor early and choosing the right test is the key to long-term health care.
