Suggest treatment for painful lumps under both armpits and groin area
Patient: I am terrified!!! I regularly have several lumps under both armpits and groin area. These lumps come and go, and are sometimes painful. I regularly wake in the night soaked in sweat. Also recently I have started noticing lower back pain. The pain is concentrated on both the lower right and left side. It is a dull, aching pain that seems to worsen at night and while I'm sitting. I should also mention that overall I just don't feel myself. Are these all signs of something serious I should look further into? Doctor: Hello!Thank you for the query.Yes, this symptoms can indicate serious issue and you should not wait with it any longer. The lumps you have under your armpits and groins are lymph nodes. Along with mentioned symptoms you may have a Lymphoma or chronic infection. Night sweats, weakness, weigh loss are quite characteristic for Lymphoma symptoms.I suggest you to consult hematologist as soon as possible. Blood work and lymph nodes biopsy should be done.Hope this will help.Regards.
