<s>[INST] Hi, im a 21yr old female w/a slightly swollen, yet, tender node in my right groin area (the left side has gone down but is still tender). Ive had this for about 2 1/2 wks. Approximately 3 days before this started, the condom ripped during intercourse. The swelling has gone down but its still noticable (a little hard, tender, could be easily noticed at a glance) . My doctor simply dismissed this as nothing to worry about during my pap 2wks ago; should this be considered a medical emergency? [/INST] Welcome to Chat Doctor .1.It's not a medical emergency - but needs medical help.2. Because aim thinking in terms of lymph nodal enlargement (bilateral, painless lump in inguinal regions) seen in presence of any infection / inflammation in the body.3. If they are tender and red and pain on touch then its infective cause (bacterial).4. I would suggest seeing your GP let get examined and a course of antibiotics will help in case of bacterial infections.5. Maintain local hygiene, do not scratch the area.  6. I don't think it's something to do with your ripped condom during intercourse. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? Do not hesitate. Thank you. </s>
