Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Knee Joints

Hello, I am a bisexual 18 year old male who recently had a dangerous sexual encounter with a male partner at school. I am scared to death that I have swollen lymph nodes behind my knees. They seem to be two lumps right on the joint- about 2 inches in diameter- they do not hurt nor do they appear in clusters. Honestly, I cannot tell if they are muscles/ tendons or swollen nodes. I can only feel the lumps when my legs are stretched out straight. Help please...

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some cyst or soft tissue tumour. Chances of lymphnode enlargement at knee joint is very rare. Don't worry much about that. it is not a serious condition. You should go for 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 any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
