Diagnosed With Lymphadenopathy, Subcentimeter Nodes, Pain In Pelvic Area. Nodes? Should I Have A Biopsy To Confirm This?
I have been diagnosed with lymphadenopathy . i have several subcentimeter nodes in the para aortic and retroperitoneal nodes. I have only had a ct scan that diagnosed this and another 6 months later with no change. I have pain in my lower left pelvic area. They think it could be the nodes. You cannot feel them. Should I have a biopsy to confirm this?

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
There are so many reasons for lymphadenopathy. Sometimes benign, sometimes malignant. Most of the time biopsy provides clue. How ever it will be better to follow the advice of a doctor instead of self treating and self investigating.
I hope you understand.
Thank you. All the best.
