Ive spent all day worrying today because of this and now i can’t sleep. Only yesterday evening was walking and felt this weird itch/pain “down there”, i checked and i have a lump on the left side, it kind of hurts when i touch it, i don’t think it moves about either, it kind of feels like it’s on a bone. I don’t know obviously i’m assuming the worst, i calmed myself down earlier because i thought it might be a fibroid but i don’t think it is that anymore. Can someone please help me i don’t know what to do and i’m literally so scared right now? is this normal. I’m an 18 year old female by the way.
update :
i took a shower and i think the lump does actually move a little depending on how i’m positioned, also it moves depending on how i’m positioned too. it looks a little red but i don’t know if that’s because i’ve been touching it. ive calmed down abit but i’m hoping this will get sorted out asap.
okay another update : i feel like it got smaller, i think it got smaller a few days ago and then it grew again but now it’s smaller again ? it kind of just feels like big veins, it’s not veins but it’s feels like it. also it does move around and it doesn’t really hurt anymore, i’m still anxious but i think it’s a swollen lymph node, it does seem to be in that area. i just don’t know why it’s swollen, i have another swollen lymph node under my jaw that’s been there for years and it doesn’t hurt or anything so i’m not even anxious about it? so can lymph nodes just swell up and stay like that ? also i read it could be because of an infection, i’ve been outside a lot recently (without a coat) and i had a pretty bad cough about 2 weeks ago, it faded but i keep going outside to take the dog out and i still have a bit of a cough so could that cause a lymph node to swell up in the groin ?
