What Do Swollen Lymph Nodes In The Neck And Groin Area Indicate?

Hello I m a 25 year old mother of two for the last 5 years I ve had swollen lymph nodes in neck and groin they have gotten quite a bit bigger in that time as well... I ve also had a number of other symptoms such as drenching night sweats that have occurred almost every night (5-6 night s a week) for the last 5 years as well and itchy skin with no apparent cause (mostly inner thighs bit sometimes calves and arms) and I m always more drained then I should be. My question is how should I approach this with my provider so I m not just shrugged off. I need answers

Hello,

You are having enlarged lymph nodes in groin and neck. It is increasing in size as well, so further evaluation should be done.

For that FNAC or biopsy should be taken and so that diagnosis can be made.

Kindly, post image and mention size of enlarged lymph node to give more comment. According to cause, specific treatment can be given. Consult surgeon for the examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
