The money received from the VA Funding Fee is used to offset the few loans that go into default, and further reduces the cost to taxpayers, ensuring the VA Home Loan program continues for future generations.
Not likely. Most swollen or inflamed lymph nodes in the groin are not due to STDs, and gonorrhea and chlamydia don't do this. (There is a special kind of chlamydia called lymphogranuloma venereum or LGV, which causes this kind of problem, but extremely rare and almost never in heterosexuals.) If you're at risk for STDs, get checked for gonorrhea or chlamydia -- but not because of lymph nodes in the groin.
These include lymph nodes in the armpits, neck, and groin. A lump at one of these sites does not necessarily indicate lymphoma. Swollen lymph nodes are more likely to be caused by infection than cancer. For example, swelling in the lymph nodes of the neck is frequently linked to throat infections. Lymphocytes, or white blood cells, flood the nodes during infection.
