Hi. I know some facts about this because I worked as a nurse for a couple of years. You gave me very small amount of information but I will try to explain you the basic things you should know.
A groin lump is localized swelling in the groin area, are localized between the internal side of your leg, your genitals and your belt line. It may be firm or soft, tender or not painful at all.
The most common causes of groin lymph nodes swelling are hernia, a local infection, generalized drug reaction, allergic reaction, a viral infection, a malignancy, trauma to the groin area and of course- sexually transmitted diseases. You didn’t mention some important stuff such as: Did the lump occurred suddenly or develop slowly, or, is it on one side or both? There are several STDs that don’t cause any visible changes on genitals so, think about visiting your GP soon.
