Can Excess Intake Of Coffee Cause Swollen Painful Lymph Nodes?

could consuming 4-5 cups of coffee a day for over a year cause lymph nodes in the groin and armpit to swell? I am a 31 year old male, 5 10 and 190 lbs. I have had swollen painful lymph nodes in my groin for over 3 months and have seen several Dr. s. I ve seen my family physician, a urologist, and a general surgeon. I have had 4 different blood works done, 2 CT Scans one with contrast and one witthout, an ultrasound and NO ANSWERS!!

Hi,

Noted the history about a 31 year old male having multiple painful lymph nodes in groin, armpits, consulted Family Physician, Urologist and General Surgeon, 2 CT scans and blood works but no answer, wants to know whether drinking too much coffee can cause this.
Surely excessive coffee consumption does not cause enlargement of lymph nodes.
All the investigations done do not point to the diagnosis and the most important diagnosis is done by the following:
FNAC that is fine needle aspiration cytology.
The best thing is excision biopsy of the whole lymph node as only this can tell us the most definitive diagnosis.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Consult your General Surgeon.
Request him for biopsy and histopathology of the lymph nodes.
Further management as per the reports.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General and ENT Surgeon
