Suggest Treatment For Lymph Node Swelling In Armpit

it might be lymph nodes, need examination to confirm
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
I would like to know if this swelling is occuring very time before your period?
The lymph nodes which are present under the arm usually drain the areas of the upper limb (Arm) as well as the breast. If there is enlargements it might be due to infection from this site.
It need to be examined.
The fact that the knot grows and then regresses in size before and after the menstrual cycles gives an indication that the knot is hormone related. In this case it is less likely to be lymph node. In any case I would recommend you to see general surgeon for examination, and on examination he might ask you for fine needle aspiration cytology.
Occurrence of breast congestion and mild pain are common during periods. This should not be anything serious.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.
I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you.
Take care.
