Is swelling under armpit during periods a sign of extra breast tissue?

3 weeks ago

Bagal ke neeche sujan periods ke time badh jati hai Mujhe laga ki ye sirf charbi hai, lekin wazan kam hone ke baad bhi ye wahi hai. periods ke pehle thoda dard bhi hota hai. Kya ye extra breast tissue ho sakta hai?

Periods ke time armpit ke neeche swelling badhna aur periods se pehle pain hona axillary breast tissue (accessory breast tissue) ki wajah se ho sakta hai. Ye ek known condition hai. Ye tissue bhi normal breast tissue ki tarah hormonal changes par respond karta hai, isliye periods ke aas-paas symptoms badh sakte hain.

Diagnosis confirm karne aur treatment options discuss karne ke liye doctor se consult karke proper clinical examination aur imaging karwana advisable hai.
