I have a swollen lymph node in right groin. I m 30 year old female with no other symptoms. recently had bio-identical hormone pellets inserted 9 weeks ago to right buttock. Had some itching and bruising reappear last week when I noticed the swollen lymph node. Is this most likely related?

Hi,
The itching and bruising could be related to local damages due to inserted pellets (allergy reaction/infection) which has involved local lymphnodes.
I suggest to talk to your gynecologist to further evaluate the site of insertion and to get the pellets removed.
All the best!
