Inguinal lymphnodes are seen on both sides, 1.8 * 0.8cms on right side and 1.7 * 0.8cms on left side She has undergone Radiography of Pelvis with both hips. Everything is normal. She is having pain on only left side around pubic area We are not able to diagnose the problem. Can you please help.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Lymph nodes tend to enlarge due to the presence of inflammation in the surrounding area.
Inflammation may be due infection, trauma, cancer, allergies. The imaging would have assessed for cancer and any evidence of trauma.
If there is any evidence of infection she may need a course of antibiotics to see if there is improvement.
A gynaecological examination may be able to show if an infection is present.
I hope this helps
