A member asked:
I a lymph node in my groin is swollen but got smaller after 5 days of antibiotics 2 weeks ago. no other swellings. do cancerous nodes get smaller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Cancer nodes shrink with successful treatments not on their own , most common cause of groin lymph node enlargement is infection in lower extremity , genital and anal infections, some time very mild , not noticeable infections, just don't worry follow your doctors instructions.
