A member asked:
Have one swollen, rubbery node, in my left groin for about a week now, 2 days before my period started. could it be due to my period?

No: The enlarged inguinal node is most likely a reaction to regional inflammation, such as a skin infection or rash. As such, unrelated to your period. If the node grows bigger or gets red or oozing, please see your doctor.
