What is the painful lump in my groin area?
Patient: I have had a lump near my groin area and was told it was a swollen gland.  It has almost completly gone away and come back to the size of a grape for a few years now.  I found out I was pregnant this week and the lump is painful and is now the size of a walnut.  What can I do? Doctor: Hi.Welcome to HCM.You may be having some infection and lymph node enlarged due to it. Sincw you are pregnant you should be more careful and take antibiotics in time after showing to your gynacologist and surgeon.Regards.
