A member asked:
Does testicular cancer cause the lymph nodes in the groin to swell or enlarge?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually not: Testicular cancer typically does not metastasize to the groin/inguinal lymph nodes, as it has a fairly predictable pattern of spread to the nodes in the retroperitoneum (along the large blood vessels in the back of the abdomen). I suggest that you go see your doctor.

It Can: It can. But so can infection or inflammatory processes. Please have a thorough exam from your doctor.
