What Causes A Pea-sized, Hard, Slightly Tender Formation In The Lower Right Groin Area?
I am a 55 yr old female with a pea-sized, hard, slightly tender formation in my lower right groin area. It's almost as low as where the groin meet the top of the leg. Do you think it's a lymph node? I noticed it a few days ago. My left side, in the same area, has had a sharp pain that comes and goes for about a month now. Should I get this checked out? If it's not a lymph node, then what could it be? BTW- My aunt had Non Hodgkins Lymphoma that was prominent in her groin.

Hi,
The lump might be enlarged inguinal lymph node on groin.
It indicates that there might be having some infection in groin or near genital parts.
Pain on left side groin might be due to some degenerative changes in your hip joint.
If require go for x-ray hip joint.
Ok and take care.
