Hernia or Swollen Lymph Nodes?
Post Body

Not sure if this needs a trigger warning. Tried to crop as much as possible. I’m a person who has pretty bad health anxiety which causes a bit of panic anytime I see bumps or feel weird.

I can feel 2 bumps on each side. The lower ones feel about the same size and I think are the size of normal lymph nodes. The upper right is definitely larger than the upper left, but it feels more long and narrow than round.

Unfortunately, my health insurance lapsed and I didn’t go to my physical. I have wasted a lot of time and money on things that I thought were problems just to have my GP tell me I’m fine. There is no pain associated with either side.

What is the best way to differentiate between swollen lymph nodes and hernias in the groin area?
