Lymph node: Probably has nothing to do with your period. Go see your doc to make sure nothing else is wrong. Probably it's an enlarged lymph node. There are many causes of this.

Go to your PCP : If it is painless I would go to ur PCP and get it tested. It can be a number of things like infection or even cancer. So definitely get it looked at.
