Symptom: Swollen glands



Contents: Swollen glands

Introduction: Swollen glands

The body has numerous glands that may swell from infection. Also, swollen lymph nodes is often called "swollen glands" though lymph nodes are not truly glands because they do not secrete anything. The lymph nodes are part of the lymphatic system that is part of the immune system. Lymph nodes often swell in response to infection or disease. The most common locations of lymph node swelling are in the neck, groin and underarm, though many other locations are possible.
