Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node And Anxiety
literally a week ago i woke up and the right side of my inguinal area i noticed two lumps the same size. i looked it up and it seems to be swollen lymph nodes maybe. then monday i started to have spotting. i don t have a normal diet. i am a very small skinny girl and i stress a lot and have bad anxiety. i freaked out about swelling quite a bit. could the swelling be causing me to spot or is it my stress and diet ? i am sexually active and i am on birth control. we use triple the protection. i got 2/3 of my cervical cancer shots. i just need advice i am freaking out. does something serious grow over night like that ?

Welcome to healthcare magic. Thank you for posting your question.
Do not panic so much. I can understand that you are very anxious about your health. A lump in the inguinal region can simply be due to inflammation of the lymph nodes over there due to some infection.
Spotting is not due to these lumps.
Do not neglect your diet. Have regular diets .
You see anxiety is an ailment which can be overcome very easily.
Try relaxation techniques like consciously breathing in and out twice a day for 5 minutes. It will help you to relax.
Every night before going to sleep write out 3 things that went well that day , it can be anything like you read a good story book or you helped someone in the street, cooked a delicious dish just anything.
For the lump , I would suggest you to visit a doctor and get it examined. It may be nothing serious, just a routine checkup.
Have a nice day. Regards
