Swollen Lymph Nodes Under Arm, Sensitive Based On Periods. What Kind Of A Doctor Should I Meet?
The lymph nodes in both my underarms get swollen and sensitive on a regular basis (it comes and goes), seemingly based on my menstrual cycle. They are at their worst around the week before i get my period...to the point where i physically feel the swollen nodes whenver i put my arms down and it becomes uncomfortable to wear sleeved clothes.
The severity has increased over the past 3-4 months.
Should I go see a hormone doctor or a lymph system doctor? Or a gynecologist? Or is it nothing to be worried about?

Dear ma'm, swollen lymph nodes are difficult to explain on the basis of hormonal fluctuations. Still if that is the case, you must see an endocrinologist. regards!
