I was diagnosed with submandibular gland
stones a few months back when I noticed my
gland would swell up quite large during
and after eating. Since then I haven't
had any size changes in the gland, and it
has only remained slightly larger than my
other gland. I've never had any pain or
trouble with it. Truthfully, I would
hardly notice it right now if I hadn't
known previously.
My concern is I'm scheduled to have it
removed this upcoming Monday, and I am
beginning to have serious doubts about it.
My physician warned it could become
infected without removal, but I haven't
had any size changes, or pain associated
with it, so I'm debating putting it off.
The only thing I notice about it is it is
more firm than my other gland, but since I
got it checked out a few months back it
hasn't gotten bigger while eating at all.
Anyways, looking for advice as far as
possibility of infection if it doesn't get
removed, or anything really. Thanks.
