ok so i know i should go to my doctor to diagnos and tell me whats wrong but my insurance wont be active for another 3 weeks and im just a worry bug so i have to ask. please only respond if you know what your talking about or if you have experienced this. ok so i have a groin lymph node on my right side thats enlarged. it feels like a rubbery bean and it has been there for about 4 months now. it doesnt hurt, so thats why it worries me. ive had really irregular periods so im thinking maybe thats why its enlarged? i also had a bad infection last year and i had to take antibiotics so im thinking maybe that could be another reason why the lymph node is enlarged? how long does it take for it go go away? IF it were to be something bad like cancer or lymphoma, what other symptoms would i have? i had a blood test done like 2 months ago and everything was normal. i am only 19 years old too and dont have any cancer or lymphomas in my family history. what are signs of a cancerous lymphnode?

dear, it could be many things. like you said , maybe the infection is coming back. . is it getting bigger? ingrown hair? at first i thought that maybe you may have a boil starting to form but the key thing you mentioned is that it has been there for 4 months. It could be a cyst. you have waited 4 months, you should be able to hang for another 3 weeks. until then, make a concoction of grape juice and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar once or twice a day. this will help keep your blood clean. i hope you feel better and that it is nothing bad.

I have had swollen lymph nodes before and also thought that they were cancer, but it turns out that it was just stress, this also happend to my brother becuase he was so stressed with his performing (he is in a band)... It might just be stress, if so then it should go away by itself, mine took a month. And yes the antibiotics could have lead to it being enlarged. The best advice is to wait till your insurance is activated and go to the doctor, it shouldn't be a problem is you don't have any family history, but yes do get checked.

all of us has lymph nodes throughout their bodies some merely stick out and are in route of the exterior than others. i believe that it could be feasible for human beings to get lymphatic maximum cancers or some thing like that yet i do not imagine it truly is that uncomplicated. flow decrease back to the final practitioner and ask them to run exams on it and/or provide you with medicine to help fix the soreness. they could be contaminated that may be what's causing the soreness. maximum of the time in my adventure you may make the medical doctors help you.

Chronic lymphadenitis of inguinal nodes is common. If it is not growing steadily, it can wait. You do mean inguinal by groin? I have never been sure what people mean by it.
