What causes swollen lymph nodes in the groin area?
Patient: I have swollen nodes in my groin but I dont beleive I have an infection or anything. I just checked out for herpes and all other STDs including aids and all was neg. i just want to know what else could be causing this and if I go to a doc.. will they be able to tell where the infection is in my body with some test? Doctor: Hi, i did review your question. Swollen nodes in groin could be due to multiple reasons. Apart from what causes you have mentioned it could be because of an infection in your feet or in belly or some other cause. I would advice you to go see a doctor and get it properly evaluated. The best diagnostic test if the swelling is for more than 2 weeks and not red and hot, should be to do a fine needle aspiration study (FNAC), this will help determine the doctor what cells it is made up of and will then guide further management and treatment from there on.I hope this helps.Wish you a superhealthy life ahead
