What Does Swelling In The Groin Area Indicate?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. 1. For the groin swelling; see whether the swelling reduce on lying down and appears on straining or lifting weights. if so then it is hernia. 2. For the blood clot in the right leg, Kindly get a venous Doppler of the both lower limbs to look for deep vein thrombosis or varicose vein 3. If you have. any cuts or injury to foot the swelling may represent a lymph node draining the infected area infected. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
