What Causes Painful Cyst In Groin Area?
Question: HELLO. i'M GETTING BIG, PAINFUL CYST ON MY GROIN AREA. THEY FILL, DRAIN BLOOD AT THE BEGINNING AND THEN CLEAR LIQUID. A FEW WEEKS LATER THEY FILL BACK UP AND THE CYCLE RETURNS.
Brief Answer:
It looks like a Lymph node.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like a Inguinal lymph node. Ultrasound of the affected area will give a Clue.
Instead of aspirating repeatedly ,I prefer to remove the entire swelling under Anaesthesia and send it for histopathological examination( Biopsy ) .
Further treatment depends on the Biopsy report.
Please consult a General surgeon, get examined clinically and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish you good health.
