What causes small lump in the pelvic region?
Patient: Hi, I m a 36 yo male, 5 10 , 175 lbs. I have no serious allergies and am generally healthy. Today I noticed a small ache in my right pelvic (inguinal) region, and found a small lump upon inspection. Aside from masturbation, I haven t been sexually active in months, so I doubt it s an std. Should I worry? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You may have enlarged inguinal lymphnode. It can be due to reactive hyperplasia, tuberculosis or lymphoma.  Your masturbation has no relation with it.  But any kind of infection can cause reactive hyperplasia.  You should go for examination.  If needed go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of that lump. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
