What Causes Mild Swelling Of Lymph Glands On Groin Area?

Question: Hello, I was wandering, I had a feeling of heat in groin area next to leg with mild swelling of lymph glands in this area .Was thinking it was maybe LGV . No redness or no bubos cant even see any swelling but if feeling glands they are bigger then other side. They are not very sore.I had a urine test for Chlamydia Trachomatis and it was negative .
So my questions is --- is it safe to say that I do not have LGV if Urine test is negative.
Brief Answer:
Kindly provide the requested data!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You are reporting mild swelling of lymph glands on groin area. Are you also having discharge from penis or pain while passing the urine flow?
If you had a PCR test of urine sample, then, can say that you do not have LGV unless you are also having the above-mentioned symptoms.
I would suggest to do the biopsy of the swollen lymph nodes for reassurance.
Looking forward to have the requested data in!
Thank you!

I have no pain during urination or no discharge . I had a urine test for infection and chlamydia trachomatis both were negative . one thing I did not mention was that I am having mild chronic epididymis. so you do not feel it is LGV.
Brief Answer:
If tests negative,don't think it's LGV....
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If no discharge and no pain during urination, and both tests for chamydia resulted negative, then, I do not feel it is LGV. However, I still insist to do biopsy of the swollen lymph-nodes for further evaluation.
Having mild chronic epididymitis might also be causing your symptoms. Further evaluation by urologist should be done for specific treatment.
