What Causes Swollen And Painful Lymph Node In The Groin Area?
my lymph node on the right side of groin area has been swollen and painful on and off for a couple years. in the beginning it was around the time of my period ,but only on occasion. not every month. my obgyn said it was normal. I had a hysterectomy over a year ago and now it is a lot more often , stays longer and is a lot more painful. I don t have an obgyn at the moment due to change in insurance, I have brought it up to the dr, that did the ablation on my varicose veins last month and he didn t think it was anything, he also didn t look at the sonogram the girl did

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a reactive lymph node.
I suggest doing a complete blood count and a urine test to check if there is a present infection.
I also recommend taking an anti-inflammatory medication such as Ibuprofen if needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
