    I’m so happy right now that I could cry! I developed a large genital lymphedema in my upper pubic area after have had an injury to my foot and leg, and subsequently having been placed (ineffectively) on the same antibiotic for a year by my doctor for the resulting infection which, unfortunately, went septic. I noticed the swelling in my groin beginning after I recovered from the sepsis, and it has gotten worse and worse in the seven years since. Every time I ask, my doctor says there are no options or treatments. This has been the source of so much pain and embarrassment and despair and anguish, and I’m so thrilled to hear that there ARE options out there! Thank you so much for posting this video, it’s going to be life-changing (literally) for me!

      Hey! This comment is actually very specific and might relate to something I’m going through. I actually went through lymphoma few years back now. I’m doing okay after years, but recently fell on my ankle badly that got infected. It was pink and obviously started to spread or at least be in the surrounding lag and ankle tissue… I finally went to urgent care and got prescribed some antibiotics. However I am careful about my stomach/gut bacteria and opted not to take them, but still have the full regimen. Now suddenly about a month later I have a pelvic/groin swelling and possibly lymphedema on that side where I initially fell and scraped my ankle badly that got pretty infected. - Now it could be unrelated (hopefully not) but a part of my hopeful intuition on this thinks it might not be coincidence I have this there now about a month after initially injuring myself. Assuming this is what I have (if it doesn’t get better I’ll see a doc) it sounds kind of similar to what you posted. What has helped for you and maybe in regard to this view with helping the localized groin lymph node swelling to go down? Hope you are feeling better yourself in that regard since I see your post was a couple years back. ✌️

    How is pelvic lymph swelling differentiated from an inguinal hernia - generally speaking. What does this swelling in the pelvis area look like? Additionally how does one know if they are dealing with lymphatic swelling, a UTI or swelling from hip arthritis.

    My left teste has gotten larger with sometimes dull ache like pain associated through the teste and directly above it in lower pelvis just above testicle and also get pain or pressure over pubis symphysis or public bone over it and each side especially if standing.

    Hi, thankyou for your video’s, so helpful! But i have a question. I just want to make sure i understand this right: If you have swollen lymph nodes in your groin, then you stroke upwards from there. But normally the area under the belly button must have downwards strokes, right?

  • @breakouttohealth-sharonsim6496

    Thank you for the video. Some feedback:
    1) movement upward does not help when lump is stuck below an 8" incision above the pubic bone. What is the solution to this?
    2) bike shorts offers compression everywhere except where compression is needed. A panty works better. However there are no good panties on the market that pull up and out to the hip bones, providing compression in the pubic area, but not "tummy compression" which pushes lymph down. Leonisa made one, but they discontinued it.

    Can anyone help?
    I think i have lymphedema in my groin but not sure.
    In january i noticed a bit of firmness to the right side of my groin, my doctor checked it and didn't diagnose me with anything. Then i did a keto diet which contained high fats and my groin would get more firm quite often, my groin also got a little bigger since januray.
    The reason its hard to know if i have genital lymphedema is because when i eat right it gets better, when i lay on my bed face down my groin becomes soft as the left side.
    How do you know for sure if you have genital lymphedema? I didnt have surgery or anything. I believe I gained weight.
    My symptoms are just firmess on right side of my groin, if i eat food that aren't recommended for lymphedema nutrition.
    Im losing weight too.

If the swelling & pain fades away with 2 or 3 days, then most probably it might be due to hard pressure given to that...
