I have a lump that sometimes appears in my groin?

Question

Hello, I have a lump that appeared on my right side in the wool. About 3 weeks after my Covid Moderna vaccine and the onset of a gastro. It then disappeared. It came back with the onset of a cold, disappeared and came back after 3 weeks that my cold lasted and probably with the onset of sinusitis. My cold finally disappeared and so did my lump. However, I had my ovulation this week which was very painful and it came back and has not gone away since. I also have my period which has almost disappeared since the vaccine. I am trying to make an appointment with my family doctor and I am unable to. I went to the clinic and was told that it was only for minor emergencies. What do you think about this situation? Should I go to the ER or wait and see my family doctor?

Hello, thank you for your question! It is possible that the nodes in the groin show some swelling during episodes of illness (or vaccine), or also during menstruation, a time when the immune system is a little more solicited There have also been reports of menstrual cycle disruption or delayed menstruation after receiving a vaccine, but this usually goes away on its own If the situation persists, or gets worse, I recommend that you see a doctor. The Bonjour Santé and Maple Health platforms could be used to get a consultation faster, or walk-in clinics in your area. Sorry I can't be more helpful at this time Tom Samaha, Pharmacist
