Hello I am 28 years old and have just found a lump in my groin I have been to the doctors who have told me it’s a swollen lymph node and that it will go down within a month I just don’t know if I believe them. I am a worrier and have health anxiety but I’m sure anyone who finds a lump will be worried? I’m debating if I should go get a private scan done what’s everyone’s opinion has anyone else been in this situation I would really appreciate your responses many thanks
