Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Nodes In Groin Area

I have had a swollen lymph node in right groin for about 18 months. Recently I discovered swelling in left groin and more node swellings in right groin. I also have a swelling on left side of neck, above collar bone which has been growing for nearly a year. I also have a pea sized swelling on the back left side of neck, just below skull. I have mentioned it to my GP several times, but he dismisses it and doesn t consider it important enough to investigate. Sometimes my legs, arms and body itches. I am concerned about lymphoma. I am due to see my GP this week. Please advise.

thanks for sharing your health concerns with us!

you should have mentioned your age and TLC/DC of your blood.

however, multiple lymph nodes or any kind of nodules in your body is a real thing for concern and one should think about tuberculosis, viral infection or even malignancy like lymphoma!

an FNAC TEST IS THE BEST WAY TO CONFIRM IT!

all the best...................
