Swollen lymph nodes

Hi, I would like to see if someone has had a similar situation to me. I had a baby nearly 2 years ago then noticed a lump in my groin. Doctors told me it was a cyst so I left it. It's gradually been getting bigger so I went another 3 times and was told it was a cyst everytime. Then another one appeared in the same spot and the older one has now turned purple. I have been having blood clots with NO period for around 6 months now. Doctors have now finally agreed with me that it is not a cyst, they have found 3 swollen lymph nodes in my groin and booked me for an ultrasound next weekend, but my head is all over the place. Has anyone had something similar to my experience? If so what was the outcome. I'm thinking the worst, I'm 23 years old with 2 young children I need to know what's going on. 
thanks in advance 

  • Hello there and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about these lumps you have and the length of time it has taken for you to have some tests arranged.

    Hopefully you will know more soon but I'm afraid no one here will be able to say what these are. Whilst others may have similar stories the outcomes could be very different so it really is impossible to compare.

    Symptoms can be caused by so many different things but most will be harmless, especially at your young age.

    I hope your appointment goes well and you find out more soon.

    Take care
