Can Hormonal Imbalance Causes Lumps In Armpit And Ovary Cysts?

my daughter is 19. always in good health. 3 or 4 times a year she gets an 1/2 size lumps in her armpit. It is tender and moved pretty freely when i touched it. Its not red like a pimple or cyst. It seems to be under all her skin tissue. She also gets overy cysts. Could this be an hormonal thing? Can she be tested for an hormonal inbalance?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query in HCM. Yes,there are possibilities of your daughter having hormonal imbalance.It is very common in this age group.

As she is having many cysts in the ovary,she might be suffering from polycystic ovarian disease.

It is a treatable entity.It is due to disorder in the hormonal levels.So,i would suggest you to take your daughter to a gynecologist and get it treated.Oral contraceptive pills along with metformin are the best treatment options for this.

Thank you
