Swollen Lymph Node On Left Side Of Groin. Had Oral Sex From A Stranger. Suggestions?

Hi doctor. I am becoming paranoid after reading all different stories over the internet. About 4 weeks ago I received oral from a female who I am unaware of her std status. After 2 weeks I developed a painless swollen lymph node on the left side of my groin. Since then the lymph appears to be back to normal. However last week I came down with a cold which lasted about 4 days. I am worried but and confused by all the stories I read. Thanks for your help

Hello and welcome to HCM.

Thank you for your query.

Although your symptoms are quite vague and could simply be related to a normal viral infection, the history of unprotected oral sex does complicate it a bit.

Based on the presentation, I cannot comment on the type of infections we should be suspecting, but I would request you to visit a doctor and get screened for all sexually transmitted infections. Do not worry about it, as it will not help.

Getting elaborately tested and properly treated will ensure a safe and disease free life. Please abstain from all forms of sexual contact in the meantime.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-shoaib-khan/64581 . I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
