Coughing/hemorrhoids: Intense and prolonged coughing may create recurrence of hemorrhoids, but having swollen groin lymph nodes is not a usual consequence. If you are unsure of the cause of the rectal/anal pain, it may be herpes virus , not hemorrhoids causing the lymph node soreness. See your gyn provider for an exam and testing to find out.

Doubt it: UTI would be a rare cause of a swollen node. Don't worry but keep an eye on it, if it worsens get it examined by a doctor.
