Enlarged Groin Lymphnodes

Has anyone experienced any enlargement of groin lymph nodes after pumping for a few weeks or more? I have not found any threads on this specifically. I’ve seen a lot of threads on hard lymph nodules or lymph veins directly on the penis or at the base, but no mention of groin lymph nodes being enlarged.

For context, these lymph nodes do drain the penis’s lymph system and mine to started to swell up a couple of months after pretty extensive pumping with a bath mate. The time they swelled up also coincided with a back injury and so I thought at first they could have been related to inflammation from the injury. But this was 8 months ago and they haven’t gone down. I have been pumping this whole time and just stopped last week when I realized the possible connection.

My doctor has a procedure for a lymph biopsy scheduled for me for Friday to make sure it’s not cancer, as it seems to not be any of the normal causes for swollen lymph nodes according to him and cancer or unexplained random chance are the only options left which he knows of. But, I didn’t tell him about penis pumping as a possible connection didn’t occur to me at first.

Any direct feedback would be great. If you’ve experienced lymph nodes swelling associated to pumping in your groin lymph nodes, please tell me about it. Did it clear up when you stopped? How quickly? Could you avoid it later or did it come back every time you pumped?

I plan to update after I have biopsy results which should be a week after the procedure.

It would be wise to tell him about pumping before he ends up biopsy your brain. Why would you not tell your doctor everything?

As I said, I didn’t think about a connection when I was in with the doctor. I told him everything that I could think of at the time I saw him. Light bulb went off at the end of last week. I plan to tell him before the procedure happens.

Biopsy occurred, result benign.

I believe the swelling was due to the PE bathmate pumping. I will rest by laying off until it dissipates and then starting back up to see if symptoms return.

I might’ve found your problem! Slow, low pressure, and steady my friend.
