Hi I am a 65 yr old lady, I had endometrial cancer grade 1 4 yrs ago had hysterectomy followed by 25 treatments of radiotherapy, all fine, now got lump appear in inner left area of groin, I have to take movicol as I am always constipated, could this be a build of of my poo as I do struggle to open my bowles, I am quite worried about this, I do suffer with anxiety as well and I am on tablets for RLS , I was on tramadol but have taken myself off it 2 days ago because of its side effects,   any advice would be appreciated, thank you
HelloThanks for writing to us with your health concern. No, this cannot be a build up of stools. They would not come out and form a lump like this, even if you are constipated.This is most probably a lymphocyte. Owing to the radiation, the lymph vessels get thrombosed and blocked. Lymph gets collected forming a lymphocyte.Another possibility with the history of endometrial cancer is that this could be a lymph node. Please do not ignore it.IT could also be another separate discrete vulval swelling.IN view of previous history of cancer, do not delay consultation.Don't worry, it is most likely to be something benign. All the best. Take care.
