What Causes Lump In The Groin Area?
Hi, I am 19 years old and have just begun being sexually active. I'm unsure as to if being sexually active is contributing to this symptom but here it is: I found on my groin area a rather sensitive pea sized lump that hurts quite a bitt to touch, also I have missed my period by about 15 days. Please help!

HI.
As per your description , this looks to be a lymph node.
It is possible that you might have minor injuries during intercourse and unnoticed infection which might have healed on its own.
But the draining lymph node continued to harbor the infection..
Nothing to do with the missed period. get urine pregnancy test done.
