What Causes A Recurring Lump On The Groin?

Hi i am a 28 year old woman, i have hypothyroidism and i am currently 17 stone. I have a recurring lump that comes up in my groin/tendon on my ght leg, right on the underwear line. It is colourless, quite hard and quite painful to touch. i have had an ultrasound scan, but at the time it had gone down, so the doctors dont think its a hernia. it grows tabout the same size as a 50p but it isnt round its elongated and seems to run along the tendon into my leg. it seems to reocurr every month/ month and half, and it has been going on for just over 12 months. i have pain/aching in my hip too, more so when the lump occurs i ont know if this is related. thanks

HI,Dear, Thanks for the query from you for your enlarged lymph nodes in the groin area since last 12 mths along with hip pain , which recurrs every 1.5 mths.1-I feel concerned that you are serious to know why these lymphnodes are recurring with aches in your hip?2-In my opinion these enlarged lumps are worrysome as they recur every 1.5 mths with aches in your hips.3-These lymph nodes indicate Chronic subdued infection of the glands with hip ache, which may be linked to the hypothyroidism you have-which may be secondary to reiedles thyroiditis? or secondary to T.B.thyroiditis leading to hypothryoidism.4-Hip aches and inguinal reccuring enlarged nodes may be related with each other and may be due to the associated supra-pelvic or infrapelvic Chronic?T.B. infection of the organs there in , which needs to be investigated and is another probability,which needs to be suspected and investigated.5-Hence I would advise a second opinion from a general physician who would do -CBC,X-ray chest ,PPD skin test-(Montoux tes).This would lead you on your worry which you expressed about lymph nodes enlargement. 5-a-A drug trial with proper antibiotics, would resolve your worry,by clinical trial also.6-Hence I would advise ER general physicians opinion.Hope this would resolve the causative worry of the patient in question .If treated on this line, the fearing patient , should not worry you much.8-Hope this would solve your worry of the enlarged lymph nodes of groin with hip ache and hypothyroidism.9-Wellcome to HCM for any more query.
