Do I have an enlarged lymph node?
Im 15YO and I have this lymph node on my right groin, it isn’t rock hard, it is very mobile, its not painful at all, its 1 cm in diameter. Its been there for about 3 or 4 years. Thats when I started losing weight and growing tall and getting thin. When I look in mirror, most of the time I cant see it pop out or anything. When it does show (very rarely) you can just barely see it honestly. I have to get glasses in order to see it. Im tall and lenky (6′ 3" and 175lbs.). My parents and friends have all told me to stop worrying and Im going to think myself into a cancer. My node on my left side is somewhat the same way except you cant see it as much as the right when you can see it in the mirror. It started to become visible a little bit the exact same time my right one did, the same day and everything. Im a hypacondriac and I freak out over every ache. Ive heard from other forums that this is normal and some nodes are more palpable and everyone has a node more visible than others. Help.

Ok its more likely to be just you…. but any changes to your body like this can mean all sorts of things.. like your body had been fighting an infection, or you may have some small hernias or you may have something more sinister…or you may not have anything at all…. so… my advice is to see the doctor have some test then when your mind is put at rest… you can get on with being 15 with no concerns thats how teenage life is meant to be… so good luck and tell your parents your concerns and go to the doctors.
