Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain what it means if there seems to be a cord-like lump below the nipple?Doctor's answer:
A lump in the armpit is more likely to be a lymph node. There are many reasons that can cause axillary lymphadenopathy, the most common being inflammation, hyperplasia of the breast, breast cancer metastasis, or reactive hyperplasia. It is recommended that you go to a regular breast specialty hospital for a detailed examination using color Doppler ultrasound or mammography.The occurrence of hyperplasia of the breast not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
