Swollen and extremely painful glands in groin..

Posted , 3 users are following.

First off, I'm 23 (female) and particularly healthy despite having ridiculous hypochondria.

I've always dealt with swollen Lymph Nodes (in my neck) since a teenager. My grandma says hers stayed swollen alot too but they could never figure out why. I have a huge Lymphoma fear...

NOW, TMI, BUT I had my cycle on the 16th and during it I developed a bad yeast infection, gross, I know but it is what it is. And then on Monday I noticed my lymph nodes on both sides of my groin/pubic area are really tender the touch... I brushed it off but it's now Wednesday and it's just gotten more painful even when I don't touch it and noticeably swollen. I'm going to the doctor in the morning but was wondering if someone knew to ease my fears what this might be? thanks!

    I'm assuming u probably got ur answer from the Dr by now, but this is nothing to be worried about. They are swollen bc of the infection u had! That's all
