The lymph nodes in the groin are located in the crease that extends from the groin to the leg. They are classified as superficial inguinal nodes and deep inguinal nodes. Found in the crease between the upper leg and lower pelvic area, the deep inguinal nodes are also known as femoral lymph nodes. One of the ways the body's immune system responds to infections and inflammation is to greatly increase the number of white cells in the lymph nodes causing them to swell. Most often swollen lymph nodes are caused by an infection or some other benign condition. Less commonly, lymph nodes enlarge related to cancer. For medication consult online in private.

Hello- It denotes underlying testicular infection. Sometime lymph nodes can also be due to cancer but the condition is very rare.
