There is a hard lump in the groin

If there is a lump in the groin, the first thing to consider is whether it is a sebaceous cyst caused by not paying attention to local hygiene, or enlarged inguinal lymph nodes caused by infection. This situation can occur at any age and can be benign or malignant. When this situation occurs in the body, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and seek medical treatment in time. In addition, you should lead a regular life, avoid strenuous exercise, eat a light diet with more vegetables and fruits, and maintain good hygiene.

Question 1

Let’s look at the symptoms first. If there is a hard lump in the groin that feels like a small goose egg, it is swollen lymph nodes, which is mostly caused by strenuous activity or excessive friction. If this disease is not too serious, it will generally subside on its own.

Question 2

Most of them have obvious infection foci, and often localized lymph node enlargement, pain and tenderness. The diameter usually does not exceed 2 to 3 cm, and will shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment. Inguinal lymphadenopathy, especially long-standing, unchanged, flat lymphadenopathy, is usually of no significance. However, unexplained enlargement of the cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes indicates a systemic lymphoproliferative disease and should be taken seriously and further examined and confirmed.

Question 3

It can also be seen in any age group. The lymph node enlargement is often painless and progressive, ranging in size from soybean to jujube, and of medium hardness. Generally, there is no adhesion to the skin, and they do not fuse with each other in the early and middle stages, so they are movable. In the later stages, the lymph nodes may grow very large or fuse into large masses with a diameter of more than 20 cm, invading the skin and taking a long time to heal after rupturing. In addition, it can invade the mediastinum, liver, spleen and other organs, including the lungs, digestive tract, bones, skin, breast, nervous system, etc. Diagnosis requires biopsy. Clinically, malignant lymphoma is often misdiagnosed. Among patients with superficial lymphadenopathy as the first symptom, 70% to 80% are diagnosed as lymphadenitis or lymphadenopathy at the initial visit, which leads to delayed treatment.
