　　Four pressures: If a man is infected with lymphogranuloma and touches the base of his thigh, his lymph glands will swell. In the early stage, they are isolated, scattered, and hard in texture. In the middle stage, they are sausage-shaped. In the later stage, they adhere to each other and merge into lumps, which can cause pain when pressed lightly with your fingers.
