Question 1

what could cause swollen lymph nodes in my groin?

Accepted Answer

Many: Most common cause is a nearby infection or irritation causing the lymph nodes to enlarge, such as bladder or urinary problems. Sometimes skin irritation or leg injury or wound can also cause enlarged groin lymph nodes. Less common is lymphoma. Would need to see your doctor if the lymph nodes persist and do not resolve.

Question 2

what can mean swollen lymph nodes in the groin area?

Accepted Answer

Several things: A few small nodes (less than 1 cm) are not uncommon in the groins. These are usually due to injury or infection and are usually harmless. However, if your groin nodes seem getting larger over times, you should check with your doctor since besides infection, many cancers can cause this. Some examples are lymphoma, melanoma, or testicular cancer (in men), or cervical cancer (in women).

Question 4

have had two swollen lymph nodes in my groin area for two years now. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Possibly nothing: Enlarged nodes in the groin are not uncommon. Most often they are benign.

If they increase in size then a biopsy would be in order..
