Does breast hyperplasia cause armpit pain?

Patient's question:

During this time, my breasts have been very sore and painful. Sometimes, even a light touch makes it worse, and at other times, I feel pain in my armpits. The doctor said this is due to mammary hyperplasia. I would like to consult about this: does mammary hyperplasia cause armpit pain? If anyone knows, please help clarify. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

If there is severe breast hyperplasia, it can cause referred pain in the armpits. If there are accessory breasts, it can also lead to pain in the armpits. When this symptom reappears, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination for confirmation. If it is confirmed that the pain is caused by breast hyperplasia, medication should be used promptly to control the condition and prevent further expansion. If the breast hyperplasia is particularly severe and affects normal life, surgical treatment may be considered.
