What Does A Lump Between The Crease Of The Arm And Breasts Indicate?
Question: recently I found a lump between the crease of my arm and the breast, its a soft lump when I stand up however it feels slightly More firmer when I'm lying down, So I went to my GP who couldn't really feel what I was feeling and said its not a concern and I shouldn't worry but for peace of mind I will go for an ultrasound scan, I've had lumps like this in the past and it's always come back as normal breast tossue, however I've noticed some very mild aching in that area could it be because I'm constantly vhecking? or is ir vecause recently I have started taking cerelle?
Brief Answer:
Can normal variant or fibrosystic changes as per the age or Cerelle.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
To recapitulate: Female/25 - lump at the crease between arm and breast - firmer on lying down - soft otherwise - GP - not a concern - adv USG - lumps in past too and came back as normal breast tissue - mild aching - started recently on Cerelle ...
If the occurrence of the lump/lumps is coinciding with taking Cerelle then the most probable cause is hormonal changes in breast as Cerelle is a hormonal preparation.
If the lump/s are present before taking Cerelle, these may be granular or glandular sort of breast tissue or mild form of fibrocystic problem known to occur in young age hence giving normal breast tissue on examination or investigations.
If there is normal Ultrasound - not showing any specific disease or disorder, this can be taken as a normal variant of normal breast tissue and Cerelle or any other hormonal preparation can have altered breast palpation.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that thre is a gap of communication.
