Question 1

can a uti cause enlarged lymph nodes in groin?

Accepted Answer

Typically not: Uncomplicated UTI should not cause enlarged ln in groin.

Question 2

enlarged lymph nodes in groin and sore lower back every so often. is this genital herpes symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Probably not herpes: Recrurrent genital herpes doesn't cause enlarged lymph nodes. This happens from herpes only once, during the intitial infection, and in that case there would be painful blisters or sores. And herpes doesn't cause lower back pain. You'll need to look elsewhere for the cause of these symptoms. Good luck!

Question 3

i'm 20 years, have enlarged lymph nodes in my groin (one is >1 cm), & it has been there for 4 months. i have pain in hip area, but all blood test are normal. how likely is it to be lymphoma?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: Worth getting the lymph node biopsied or studied further though if it has been there that long.

Question 4

i have had multiple enlarged lymph nodes in the right groin, that seem to be getting larger, hard to touch, low back and hip pain also, i am 57?

Accepted Answer

See doctor ASAP: These symptoms point to a systemic problem which may be serious.  Call your doctor ASAP.

Question 5

ct and/pelvis contrast for lymphadenopathy. they wrote multiple non enlarged retro peritoneal lymph nodes visualized. is it normal to see them on ct?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: lymph nodes are normal structures.  If they are normal in shape and size, there is generally nothing to worry about.

Question 6

ct and/pelvis contrast for lymphadenopathy. multiple non enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes visualized. do you always see these nodes on ct? normal?

Accepted Answer

These lymph nodes: may not mean anything, unless there is a readily diagnosed condition that will explain their existence, such as acute infection or tumor.  Lymph nodes can pop in and out, without rhyme or reason.  The existence of CHRONICALLY enlarging lymph nodes would be a red flag.  Periodic followup CTs at intervals of 3 or 6 months would be recommended here.

Question 7

dr did catscan of pelvis for enlarged lymph nodes night sweats. ct found thick cervix. what does this mean? thanks

Accepted Answer

Unsure: Ct is not the best way to image the female pelvis.  This could be normal for you or there may be something abnormal.  I would recommend a pelvic ultrasound and physical exam to make sure everything is okay.

Question 8

abd/pelvis ct today. why is my dr not concerned about mild splenomegaly, or several mildly enlarged lymph nodes. had test for fever unknown origin.

Accepted Answer

Nodes not signif.: One has to  know why the scan was done.  Were there nodes in external chains that needed clarification.  When nodes continue to enlarge in face of mild splenomegaly then superficial node that is most enlarged should be biopsied.  Low grade chronic lymphoma can persist in a vegetative state for a long period and firm if not very enlarged might still be an indication for bx.

Question 9

what do a couple swollen lymph nodes in groin mean?

Accepted Answer

Usually nothing.: This is the place where enlarged lymph glands are most often found.  If not tender or hard, and if they are under 1 cm in diameter there usually is no problem.  If that is not the case, or if there are other symptoms like fever, night sweats or weight loss, they might need to be biopsied.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Infection or: neck and groin nodes often swell secondary to infection
depends n size and feel if firm and hard need biopsy
