What Causes Uncontrolled Growth Of Lymph Node In Groin Area?
Hi, i have had a swollen lymph node in my groin area for several years and none of my doctors have seemed concerned. Over the past few days it has trippled in size. it started after a night where i drank a little more than usual. I wasnt really drunk.. I had three drinks and a lot of food. I also have a wheat alergy and suspect maybe i had some on accident. What do you think?

Hello,
The symptoms can be related to a reactive lymph node. The fast growth have to be checked to exclude other possible conditions. I recommend to do a complete blood count and a CT scan for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
