I really need answers here because this is the first time something like this has happened to me and I m a bit worried- okay, more than a bit worried. A little background: I m an 18 year old female who is sexually active (I don t know if that s relevant, just throwing that out there.) This swelling is not visible. If I feel for it and press down a bit, I feel the pain but I think it s gotten bigger since yesterday? I am a shaver and I ve recently acquired a sizable hair boil further south. I know lymph nodes get inflamed when fighting infection so I m thinking that might be the cause. If that isn t, I vaguely remember hitting my mons on the corner of a desk when passing by.. but I don t think that s what s going on (I m just listing all possibilities.) The position of this swelling is in the right upper middle-ish area of my mons, towards the crevice of where my leg folds, if that means anything. Oh gosh, please someone give me a little insight. :( I know that if I stress about this too much, I ll delay my period (it s really sensitive to my hormones and emotions .) Please help!
