Groin Pain Causes
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Swollen Lymph Nodes
Located in the groin region are small glands that are known as lymph nodes. These help to keep us safe from disease by filtering pathogens from the blood. In addition to being located in the groin area, they are also found in the neck, under the armpits, and in some other locations in the body.
If there is an infection in the body then the lymph nodes will work hard at helping to deal with the problem. This extra work can cause them to become swollen and, if this occurs in the groin area, it can become painful for the patient. The patient is also likely to be suffering from other symptoms including a fever and chills.
