A member asked:
I recently had an mri. it said "there are nonspecific lymph nodes in the right inguinal region."what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nodes in groin: Lymph nodes are the body's trash collectors. Any infectious process can cause enlarged lymph nodes. Sometimes tumors can cause this too. Generally non-specific means that the radiologist interpreting the MRI could not tell the cause of the node enlargement. Most commonly the enlargement is due to infection. Your doctor can tell more by examining the area. Best to follow up. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
