Hi there , Thanks for query .Causes for groin swelling are lymph nodes , hernia , dilated veins at the groin. Clinical examination and ultrasound will determine the cause of swelling.Lymph node enlargement at the groin is common as there will be repeated infection of the leg, like even walking barefootcan cause without apparent infection. So repeated infection causes persistence of the size of the lymph node and its progression.
