Is Getting Biopsy For Presence Of Three Lumps In Groin Dangerous?
Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
I just received some information from my friend, stating that they had 3 lumps in their groin. My question is how serious is this? I am really worried about it since it happens to be my closest friend. I was hoping you could give me some information about this. And is the biopsy dangerous?

HI. These look to be the lymph nodes and biopsy is always done by a Surgeon so nothing to worry about the surgery.
The groin lymph nodes are rarely seen there can be a serious lesion and definitely can be a cause of worry. Yet it is better to think of the best and may be it was just an infection in the drainage area of these nodes
