A member asked:

One inguinal lymph node felt swollen (left) every period. it's tender. happened before. goes away after period. no cramps. still virgin. is this bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: This is a normal occurrence. Those lymph nodes drain your G.I. track. I wouldn't worry about it unless it persists and continues to grow for over a month.
