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.

I haven’t heard of people having nodes more visible than others, but I do know that our bodies do have a large collection of them in our groins and armpits. Because you say it’s been there for a couple years, it’s probably nothing, but I would still consult your doctor if you haven’t already done so recently.
Why dont you tell your parents that you want to see a doctor, he will tell you what these nodes are & put your mind at ease. I wouldent want to sit around worrying about it all of the time, when diognosis, is only a doctor away.
