I am not having a cycle but have a knot that s kinda painful to touch, coming up on both sides of the groin area. I m worried. What could this be

Hello,
The knots in the groin area are not related to irregular periods. These can be due to swollen lymph nodes and may need a direct examination for diagnosis.
The irregular periods can be related to the hormonal disturbance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
