Question 1

I have a swollen groin lymph node, please help!?

Accepted Answer

Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 2

Why do i have a lump below  the middle part of bicep & swollen groin lymph node? appeared 4 & 3 weeks ago, no growth after 48hrs, red, &initially painful

Accepted Answer

I don't know of any relationship between a bicep "lump" and a groin lymph node. This isn't a problem that can be assessed over the internet. See a physician.

Question 3

Swollen groin lymph node for around 6 weeks?around 1cm hard and fixed. 23 year old female. dr originally thought shaving but this has been stopped ?

Accepted Answer

Any leg or foot infection? Moles,?
Any pelvic issues?
Lymphadenopathy can reflect inflammation, local skin infection, or tumors, or lymphatic disease.
May need biopsy if persistent or more!

Question 4

I have a groin lymph node that has been swollen for 3 weeks. the doc said it was fine a few days after it popped up but it's still here.?

Accepted Answer

Details are needed in your case in order to determine why this is happening- was it tender? Matted? Had. Associated symptoms? It's more appropriate if this is done in person with your primary care doctor.

Question 5

How long does a groin lymph node stay swollen after a bug bite?

Accepted Answer

Lymphatic system absorbs/carries things too big to go into the arteries/veins like bacteria eaten by white cells and digested food. Lymph nodes "taste" the lymph for anything bad  like bacteria/viruses/cancers, etc. When it detects a problem, it alerts the immune system and your body reacts.  They enlarge in response to the inflammation they create when they react.  They shrink when all is well.

Question 6

I have one swollen inguinal lymph node. its soft, moveable, about 1 cm, & heart shaped. it could be 2 that are matted. its hard to tell. causing panic

Accepted Answer

Don't panic. These nodes are usually the largest in the body because they are located in an area that isn't clean and they have to manage a lot of activity. If they don't hurt and you don't have any new symptoms (vaginal discharge or foul odor), then just keep an eye on it/them. If painful or not going away, you can show a doctor.

Question 7

Been having pain off and on around my inguinal lymph node for about a week on my left side. it has been more constant yesterday into this morning and woke me out out of dead sleep. not swollen or red in that area in any way. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Is there a lymph node felt there? Is there possibility of STD? Are you constipated? It could be referred pain from the abdomen. If you have fever you may want to get evaluated by a physician. Try also to relieve constipation if possible before being concerned too much about it.

Question 8

Ive have a single inguinal lymph node swollen for about 6 months. it will go down for a few days, but not completely small, then larger. never larger that 1cm. no symptoms. i have gad so this isn't sitting well with me?

Accepted Answer

Palpable lymph nodes are not of significant concern unless their size is  more than 1CM and there is continued enlargement in the size without  having a decrement in size. So you do not have to check your groin node more than once a month and ignore it unless there is increase in size to more than 1CM.

What is GAD??

Question 9

Is it safe to have sex with a swollen inguinal lymph node?

Accepted Answer

It may be safe to have sex, but you should go see your doctor for this lymph node swelling and get it checked out.  It may be significant.

Question 10

My left inguinal lymph node has been swollen for approximately two weeks and continues to enlarge. it's hard, warm, and sensitive to touch. it's almos?

Accepted Answer

Any lymph node that is continuing to enlarge is a sign of something serious that needs medical attention. You should go see your family doctor right away. If you can not get to him/her, you may have to go to the Er to see a doctor in the ER.
