The human body is built in such a way that when any diseases occur, it can get rid of them on its own. Of course, this is far from always the case, and the patient has to turn to professionals, but it often happens that a person does not even suspect that he has an infection. Thanks for this need immunity, and in particular, the lymphatic system. It is she who primarily responds to infection and begins to cleanse the body of harmful microorganisms.
The structural elements of the system - the lymph nodes - begin to change during the fight against infection. As a result, they become enlarged, inflamed, compacted and attract the attention of the sick person. Thus, you can immediately find out about the presence of pathogens in the body. As a rule, lymph nodes are not inflamed all at once, but in groups, and mainly in those places where pathogens began to act actively.
If the lymph nodes in the groin become inflamed , this can indicate both a cold of the genitourinary system and more serious ailments, for example, the presence of diseases transmitted through sexual relations. Defining inflammation is quite simple: you should probe the location of the nodes. Enlarged lymph nodes in the groin become the size of a pea or slightly larger. If the cause of their change was an infection, then the nodes will hurt when pressed and they can be moved a little. If the pain does not appear, and the node is compacted, then this usually indicates the beginning of oncology in the tissues next to which the node is located. The true signs of the onset of the disease, in addition to inflammation of the lymph, are an increase in body temperature, pain and noise in the head, general weakness in the body, and aches. Sometimes it happens that the inflamed lymph nodes in the groin begin to suppurate. This is accompanied by an increase in pain, temperature and redness of the skin. In this case, the help of a surgeon is required.
Quite often, doctors hear questions from their patients about methods of treating such inflammations. Enlarged lymph nodes in the groin, as well as any other, do not need treatment. This phenomenon is a consequence of the presence of infection in the body, which should be treated. If you take effective actions to get rid of the disease, then the lymph nodes themselves will return to their natural state, that is, they can no longer be just discovered. In any case, you should not determine the cause of inflammation yourself, since in the absence of a special education, the probability of error is quite high. Moreover, it is not recommended then to self-medicate!
The correct diagnosis can only be made by a general practitioner, and for this, additional tests and examinations are usually performed. It is important to remember that enlarged lymph nodes in the groin are not an independent disease, but only one of the symptoms. And treating the symptoms is impractical, because the real ailment will remain in the body. He will only gain strength, exacerbating the situation. Incorrect treatment or its absence in most cases leads to a wide variety of consequences and usually such complications require more painful and lengthy treatment.
