Cyst? Swollen Gland?
Posted: 03-16-07 03:26am

Hi all, glad I found this site! I just discovered something a little strange tonight. There's a lump between right leg and scrotum. it's not where I would call it in the scrotum, but at the bottom and to the side, in the crook of my leg. I felt something similar a little higher up maybe a year ago, but it seemed smaller, and it went away after maybe two days. I'm just wondering if maybe it could be a swollen gland or lymph node, because I think there's some of those in that area. It's not painful, maybe feels a little pressure when i touch it, so I don't think it would be a hernia or anything. Anyone have any thoughts, it's bothersome. I'm quite a hypochondriac.

sounds like a lymph node to me. Maybe you have a cold, flu or virus. The lymph nodes *filter* these things out. If it's not painful I wouldn't worry too much. Sometimes our bodies fight infections or virus' and we never know it. Hope this helps!
