How To Rule Out Lymphoma?

I am a 16-year-old female. In March 2014, I noticed a swollen lymph node in the right side of my neck. I didn t think much of it. This lymph node is still swollen, and I can still feel it. However, recently, I started having pain in my right groin area. I haven t been able to feel a swollen lymph node in the groin area, but I am worried that I may have a form of lymphoma. Is it abnormal for a lymph node in the neck to stay swollen, and is it just a coincidence that I have pain in my right groin area (where there are also lymph nodes?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin.

There are many reason of enlarged lymph nodes.
Simple viral infection or other infection causes reactive hyperplasia of lymphnode. Tuberculosis or lymphoma can also causes multiple enlarged lymph nodes.

You should go for fine needle aspiration or biopsy of your enlarged lymphnode. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
