Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with breast hyperplasia last month. I have been taking her to the hospital for treatment irregularly, but recently she told me that her armpits have also started to swell. I am very surprised by this situation. Breast hyperplasia has led to significant lymph node enlargement in the armpits. Is it possible that it is continuing to worsen?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia can lead to axillary lymph node enlargement, which does not necessarily indicate malignancy. It is more likely caused by breast hyperplasia leading to breast inflammation, resulting in axillary lymph node enlargement. For your condition, I recommend further and more thorough examination. You can undergo a lymph node biopsy for pathological examination. Only through pathological examination can the specific nature of the lymph node enlargement be determined. If it is breast cancer with lymph node metastasis, radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment will be necessary.
