Swollen lymph nodes in groin

by meligold, Sep 21, 2006 12:00AM
I am 33 years old and have a 1.8 cm complex cyst on my right ovary.  I also suspect based on pain that I have one on the left ovary as well (only the right ovary was looked at during u/s).  I also have  prominent but not overly large lymph nodes that can be felt in the groin on both sides.  I've been on bc for 3.5 weeks to try to keep cysts under control, and am going on Sept. 22 for a follow up on the lymph nodes.  My dr plans on rechecking cysts by u/s after a few cycles.  Is there any evidence that swollen lymph nodes in the groin are linked to ovarian cancer?  Thanks for any information.

Swollen lymph nodes can be a sign of many things.  Has your doctor done a CBC (complete blood count)?  If you have an infection or something, your white blood cell count will be higher, therefore the swollen lymph nodes.  Just make sure they check that out thoroughly on your appointment.

Best of luck,
Shawn
