What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes On Both Sides Of The Groin?
my husband had prostrate removed due to cancer 8 years ago. He thought he had a pulled muscle one month ago then last night found swollen lymph nodes on both sides of the groin. Oncology doctor wasn't available today, he went to general doctor and got antibotics for infection but his white blood count did not show infection. Could he be at risk for more complications due to prostrate cancer?

Hello,
Possibility of a recurrence of cancer to lymph nodes must be ruled out. He can continue the antibiotics for ten to fourteen days. If nodes persist even after the full course of antibiotics. A fine needle biopsy is required to rule out cancer recurrence.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
