I think both are not related. Lump in her groin area can be due to lymph node enlargement. Lymphnodes are firm consistency glands which drains fluid from body. Some time when there is any infection in body, these becomes enlarge and feel palpable as she is feeling. She need not be worried. An ultrasound examination can confirm this. As far as clots during her menstrual cycle is concern , i think a gynaecologist opinion is needed for that.
