• Painless swelling of lymph nodes in your neck, armpits or groin
• Persistent fatigue
• Fever
• Night sweats
• Unexplained weight loss
• Severe itching
• Increased sensitivity to the effects of alcohol or pain in your lymph nodes after drinking alcohol

Presence of B Symptoms (Means the disease is aggressive and needs immediate treatment)
Part of staging Hodgkin lymphoma requires determining whether certain B symptoms are present, which may factor into the overall prognosis and may be signs of more advanced disease. Those B symptoms are:

• Fever
• Drenching night sweats
• Dramatic and unexplained weight loss(more than 10% weight loss in last 6 months)
