Swollen lymph nodes in groin

Hi

 

I have had swollen lymph nodes in the right side of the groin for the few months. Went to the docs and once the bloods came fine,  she said not to worry. So I left it.  A few months later they are here. So back to the docs and have had blood test which has come back fine. Have also been sent for an ultrasound. Just waiting for a date.  I don't really have any other symptoms, the lumps are movable and haven't really changed in size. Has anyone else had swollen lymph nodes?  Google isn't really helpful and I'm trying to avoid it.

 

Thank you

    Hi,

    I had two swollen nodes in my groin about 10 years ago, had them biopsied as they were quite hard and not very moveable, all was fine and they are still there to this day! Nodes often swell up due to infections and we are aren't often aware of it. A Norse even told me it can even be caused by a slightly infected hair follicle in the genetalia area lol! It's totally normal for nodes to swell up and not go back down, so try not to think the worst. I've had them in my armpit and I've even got a huge one in my neck which was also biopsied but was fine! Hope that reassures you x

    Hello Butterfly1987 

     

    I hope you are well, I know this was a while ago but did you find that the lymph nodes ache as I have had swollen nodes for months not that moveable and I'm freaking out
