Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Swelling of groin lymph nodes is usually caused if there is any infection in the genital area. Your doctor is right in ordering for a vaginal smear and scan to rule out other causes of persistent lymph nodes. They can also be due to cervical or uterine pathology. I suggest you get the tests done and let your treating doctor decide based on the reports.
Thanks.
