Question : Hi

I am aged about 35 yrs female.

I am having swollen groin at the beginning of my left and right thighs since 7-10 days and I am applying pain relief cream (bengay or moov) at night before I go to sleep. I somehow started feeling on other parts of the body where I observed that it's due to swollen nerves. Due to this, I am having disturbed sleep during mostly nights.

Can you recommend possible home remedies if available. If not, recommend any medicine.

Brief Answer:
Get examined by a doctor and get investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.
Swollen inguinal region can be due to lymph node enlargement due to infection, tuberculosis or malignancy.
You need to be examined by a physician or gynecologist.
If any infection is present in lower limbs or genital organs, then antibiotics can be taken.
Anti-inflammatory drugs like aceclofenac with serratiopeptidase can be taken for swelling and pain relief.
Get blood counts, usg of inguinal and abdominal region.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.
