Possible correlation between cycle and lymph node swelling??

[Budly69]

I've noticed a swollen lymph node near my right groin, its not sore, its not overly swollen, doesnt feel hard (which apparently is a bad thing), I havent been sick nor do I feel as if I am getting sick, the only thing that has changed about me is the cycle I started about 5 weeks ago. Has anybody else had this problem? I've read online that if it doesnt go away in a month or two to go see a doc but I'm not sure I would feel comfortable doing that until I get all my blood levels back to normal after my cycle. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about you but any lump near my groin and I'm running to the doctor. That's not something I would take lightly.

Based on the research I've done I'm almost 100% positive it is a swollen lymph node and has just occurred. Also based on the research I've done most web med sites don't call for panic like I initially had. Apparently if there are several swollen glands things are in bad shape but I only have one that is enlarged and not even as much as they usually get, but it appears that sometimes a lymph node will flare up and go back down for no apparent reason or possibly fighting an infection in the body that the person is unaware of. As stated earlier I feel fine and nothing about me has changed in any way, shape or form other than starting my cycle (test, tren, mast) so I thought I would see if this has happened to anybody else. And the node is actually closer to my hip bone than groin, I guess I should have specified a little better.

i think some swelling from time to time should be expected, that's how things work. if i had some rash and/or fever at the same time as swollen lymph nodes then i'd be concerned.

I get Swolen lymph nodes in arm pits and groin every now and then. I wouldn't worry unless it stays a while

Guys,

lymphedema in the groin or arm pits is often inconsequential and can result from a local infection or a reaction to drugs (many AIs at doses of 1mg/day or greater can cause lymphedema). Often the nodular swellings will decrease on their own. In cases of infection, broad spectrum antibiotics such as levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin will resolve the issue. If multiple swellings occur or secondary symptoms develop (fever, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss), please visit your MD for blood work.

In most cases the lymphedema is often nothing to be concerned unless it persists more than 3 months, the nodes change, or secondary symptoms arise.

Update: turns out it was chlamydia... I'm such a skank...

Sadly I did this more often than I should've. Being 6'7 and solid makes it stupid easy to get laid, everybody thinks I'm in the NFL. Being much more careful now, that was my first (and last) STD scare.
