Surgeon Questions Lymph Nodes

Why is my lymph node swollen?

I had a hernia surgery and noticed a slight bulge, which turned out to be a swollen lymph node, according to my surgeon. I had surgery July 17 and it's October 15, and I can still feel that it's slightly swollen. Is this because of the hernia repair or do I have an infection?
