Hi i have a lump by my belly button that comes and goes. I have recently had a swollen and enlarged lymph noid on my right inguinal groin with wedge shaped bruising. I was diagnosed with lymph noid infection and was put on antibiotics. Since then the lymph noid has decreased in size and still waiting on x-ray results. My question is, is it possible that the lump in my belly is linked to the swelling lymph noid in my groin? And I have also been getting lots of headaches can this also be linked? I am Breast feeding (one year now). Thank you.
No! This one could not be a lymph node; this is kind of hernia! Hi! In such cases of lump near navel that comes and goes, I must examine the lump regarding its relation to coughs, sneezing, supine position and its reducibility...etc. And, headaches or the groin nodes are not related to it. There are few possibilities like a hernia, inclusion cyst, hematoma, benign cysts or even lymph nodes as you mentioned! An USG of the area can confirm this. Therefore, see a surgeon for a physical examination and relevant early management. Regards,
