What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Groin?

i had a c-section 11 days ago. the other night i felt 2 lumps on my groin and my GP said it's just swollen lymph nodes. he is not concerned since i don't have fever or any other symptoms. now, the lump is bigger and there is more than two. should i be concerned?

Hi! please don't worry but take care; there might be wound/vaginal infection!

Well, this is very very common post-operative complaint that some females get enlarged inguinal lymph nodes following caesarean surgery; we have seen so many cases but fortunately all were reactive or related to recent minor infections, wound infection, hair follicle infection etc. in recent past. Rarely some lymph nodes turn into abscess that needed surgical drainage/antibiotics.

Therefore, you also need to see your doctor for a detailed examination and if necessary needle biopsy/ultrasound to relieve your concerns.

regards,
