Hi everyone
I was just wondering how swollen a lymph node in the groin area has to be to be considered abnormal. I have some flat squishy lumps, almost like a flat raisin in my groin. I have had some other health issues related to my neck and throat so I am constantly feeling for lumps. I also have a hard swollen gland on my neck that is about a half inch that has been there for years. It gets much bigger when I am sick but it never goes down completely. I had swollen lymph tissue behind my tonsil on that same side which my ENT doctor biopsied and it came back (-)
Do you think I have anything to worry about? I do have hot flashes but am perimenopausal and they do stop if I take estrogen. I feel healthy other than that. No fever but sometimes little tired. Thanks for your input.
