Groin lump

Absolutely freaking out. I have just found a hard, painless lump on my inside, left side of groin. I can't move it and it's solid. Had loads of bloods test other day as I kept running hight fevers but no infection. Now I have just found this I can't sleep thinking it's some kind of cancer :( has anyone else ever had this? Thanks x

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your concern but I am afraid that no one here can tell you what is the matter.

    It looks like you have had some tests and investigations done and reassuringly none of them have shown anything worrying.

    Lymph nodes can get bigger for many reasons, such as a current or past infection. I think the best thing to do, if you are worried about it, is to make a GP appointment to get it checked out. While you are waiting for this do not press and prod this area as this could make it worse.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
