Question 4

what causes a swollen gland in the area where the pelvis and leg connect? on the left side.

Accepted Answer

May need examiantion: It seems like you are referring to your Groin area where lymph nodes are normally situated. If there is any infection or inflammation in the leg or lower abdomen, these nodes can enlarge temporarily. If the welling is progressive and does not settle down in 2-3 weeks, you need to see your doctor  for a medical examination.

Question 5

can hiv cause node swell one after the other? noticed painless nodes swollen back of neck then 2 weeks after painful one on left collarbone which went down and then around another 2 weeks later painful node on right pelvis area which has went away 2?

Accepted Answer

: Almost certainly this wasn't HIV, which doesn't cause one node after another to become inflamed or enlarged. Only several nodes at once, and almost always with fever, sore throat, and/or skin rash.  However, this question suggests you are worried and might have been at risk -- therefore, you should be tested for HIV, regardless of these nodes. Better safe than sorry!

Question 6

are swollen lymphnodes in abdomen and pelvis cause for concern if they remain swollen for weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes if persistent. Especially if they are associated with symptoms such as fever, night sweat, weight loss, etc and no other causes to explain. In the younger age group, germ cell tumors can also be a possibility. Of course, they are many benign reasons. My point is that persistent swollen lymph node is a concern and should be evaluated by doctor.
