<s>[INST] Dr. Greif, I am a 33yr old female. I workout regularly. After getting home from the gym last night I noticed a small lump in the crease of my right leg in the groin area. It is painful to the touch and when I walk. I tried icing it last night and it did help. After working all day today it is much worse. Do you have any advice on what type of doctor I should see? Where do I start? Any suggestion to what it might be? I have researched femoral hernia and swollen lymph nodes as well as pulled muscles. Thank you, [/INST] Hi,Welcome to HCM. I studied your query.I understood Your concerns.Based on facts of your query,Dear you seem to have A Groin Lymphnode or a boil as it did relieve after icing,but increased after the days workout.All this story indicates that a Second Surgeons opinion is a must in your case.All  the possibilities in your case need to ruled out.Being a female,Femoral Hernia could be there,which needs USG study to rule out its possibility.Hope this reply it would satisfy and would help you to plan treatment with the right consultant doctor.Contact with a Followup Premium question to ME.Will appreciate your Hitting thanks and writing excellent review comments to help needy patients like you. Good Day!!Dr.Savaskar.Senior Surgical Specialist M.S.Genl-CVTS </s>
