Suggest Treatment For Swollen Lymph Node
Hi there. Discovered a swollen lymph node last night, only because it hurts a bit when pressing on it. I had it before and it disappeared after a while. But this one doesn t move really. Left of my bikini area where the left leg starts. 24 years, female, 1,63m 54kg. Not taking any medication, no birth control.

Welcome to health care magic.
1.Lymph nodal enlargement is generally seen after any infection or inflammation, which can be localised or systemic.
2.The other possibility of lymph nodal enlargement can be due to the lymph nodal pathology itself - lymph adenomas.
3.As an investigation - get an ultrasound examination of the lump - which will assess the status of the lymph nodes solid / cystic / degenerative status.
4.To assess further - an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology for assessment of nature of the cells involved.
5.If you are known to any infection or systemic pathology - get it treated, the lymph nodes will disappear on their own.
6.I would recommend to see your GP, get examined and treated according to the examination and imaging findings.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
