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.
Causes of swollen lymph nodes. There are many causes for swollen lymph nodes. Most commonly, lymph nodes become swollen due to an infection, such as a viral upper respiratory infection like the common cold. Sometimes, lymph node swelling is caused by an underlying condition. Cancer that starts in another part of the body and spreads to the lymph nodes is called a metastasis. 2  Even when cancer spreads to the lymph nodes, it is still named after the area of the body where it started. 3  Learn more about metastatic cancer, including diagnosis and treatment.
