Swollen lymph nodes are an indication that your body is fighting off an infection. This could be a minor infection, in which case, the lymph nodes will go back to normal soon. I get swollen lymph nodes behind/below my ears all the time but they always go away.
When to see a doctor
Some swollen lymph nodes return to normal when the underlying condition, such as a cold, resolves. However, see your doctor if you're concerned or if your swollen lymph nodes:

Have appeared for no apparent reason
Continue to enlarge, or have been present for more than two weeks
Feel hard or fixed
Are accompanied by fever, night sweats, or unexplained weight loss
Are accompanied by a sore throat or by difficulty swallowing or breathing
Are red, warm and tender

Thank you for the reply. I have no other symptoms as I feel great. I just noticed the swollen gland in the groin area while showering otherwise I may not have known it was there.
So what are the possibilities it's lymphoma?
I'm a 30 year old female with no other health concerns and the only cancer that has occurred in my family is colon.
Thanks

I was going to give you a list of symptoms of lymhoma but, since the lymph nodes are all over the body they affect too many areas and cause too many symptoms to list. If you're truly worried about lymphoma, your best bet is to get checked out by your doctor. I have no idea if your age has any influence on this disease or not.

about a month and a half ago i discover what appears to be a swollen node on the right side of my neck i thought it seemed to be a little large but i went to 2 different doctors with both telling me it felt normal as compared to the abnormalities they have felt before. i felt better for a few days after hearing tht but im a chronic google symptom surfer and a worrier on top of tht. i show no other symptoms of anything like lymphoma but i just wonder if i should still be concerned. im a 19 year old college student and feel basically at the top of my game as most of us do at this point in our lives.

anybody have any idea if i shuld be further concerned ?!?!!?

You've gotten two different medical opinions. If you're not feeling any pain or discomfort, if the area is not hot to the touch... I think you're fine.

my wife has a swollen lymph node in her groin are for a long time and is painful at times. she seems to be getting nowhere with this problem despite hospital visits and her GP involved. She can be in a lot of pain sometimes. I would appreciate any advice.

I don't know what to tell you, Alan. I don't know enough about this to go against her doctors' advice. The only thing I can think to do is treat the underlying cause, the infection or illness, and hope the swelling goes away. For temporary relief she can apply warm compresses to the area and take an over the counter pain reliever.
