A member asked:
Is it normal for me to have fluid behind my thigh?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends: It depends on the location. Behind the thigh in the mid to upper thigh region would be unusual. If it is lower down near the knee then that is not uncommon and may represent a cyst or fluid filled cavity. It would be important to know whether you are talking about a swollen area (muscle strain), a discrete mass (tumor or fatty lump), or a fluctuant area (fluid filled space).

Not normal: It is not normal. It is important to have it looked at by your physician.
