There are often some problems in the groin, which can be caused by various reasons, such as redness, swelling, pain, etc., including groin enlargement. Not only men will have this problem, but women will also have it. It affects a wide range of people. However, this problem can be cured, but it needs to be discovered and treated early, otherwise it will cause more serious consequences. So what is the enlargement of the left groin in women?

Inguinal lymph node enlargement is very common in clinical practice, and often indicates that there are lesions in the tissues and organs around the lymph nodes, namely lesions of the reproductive system and abdominal organs around the groin, and also systemic diseases.

Causes and common diseases:

1. Chronic lymphadenitis: Most cases have obvious infection foci, and often localized lymph node enlargement, pain and tenderness. The diameter generally does not exceed 2 to 3 cm and will shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment. Inguinal lymphadenopathy, especially long-standing, unchanged, flat lymphadenopathy, is usually of no significance.

2. Tuberculous lymphadenitis: In addition to swollen inguinal lymph nodes, tuberculous lymphadenitis also has symptoms such as fever, sweating, fatigue, and increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate, which is more common in young and middle-aged people. It is often accompanied by pulmonary tuberculosis. The texture of the lymph nodes is uneven, with some parts being lighter (caseous change) and some being harder (fibrosis or calcification). They are adhered to each other and the skin, so they have poor mobility. These patients have positive tuberculin tests and blood tuberculosis antibodies.
