Cause For The Lump In The Arm Pit Which Is Painful And Sensitive?
I have a small lump under my left armpit that is very sensitive and painful around ovulation. I'm 44 year old white female with no known health issues. I had an ultrasound of this area in past 2 years and the results were negative. I have had a mammogram each year since 35 and am due for another now but all results have been negative thus far. The lump seems to get bigger each time I have my period and more sensitive but eventually gets smaller again and the pain subsides. Should I worry?

Hi.
Thanks for your query .
Painful lump in the armpit is hormonally monitored, most probably a fibroadenosis or a rare endometriosis.
Get an Ultrasonography, FNAC and if required Excision biopsy for 2 reasons:
1. you get rid of the disease
2 . you get a confirmed reports and calm , stress free life.
Get the surgery done as the best option
