axilla noduls

[Amir76]

hello,
I' m 36 years old. Today i made the echograof  the breasts. I wanted to made a mamography but for my age they recomanded to me to do the ultrasound. It was just as a routine control. It is the third time i do it. The previous times iit was all right, but this time the doctor said to me i have two reactive limphonoduls at both fossa axillares, and the brests are normal. he recomended me to consult the mastolog. I' m so concerned abot this. I don't know if it is dangerous for my health.
Please sugest to me what can i do.

Hi,
The lymph nodes, which are located in different parts of the body including the armpits, are part of the lymphatic system.
Lymph nodes in the armpits are often "reactive" and enlarge as they work to drain infection.When lymph nodes become swollen, it usually indicates infection or inflammation somewhere in the body and doesn't necessarily mean it's something bad.Allergic reaction from perfumes, deodorants, hair removal treatments etc...could cause lymph nodes to enlarge.
Being referred to a Breast Specialist is a good recommendation. Depending of course on what the doctor deems appropriate he/she may recommend to just monitor the lymph nodes growth or perhaps ordering more investigative tests to find out if your lymph nodes are swollen due to infection or some other causes.
Hoping that there is nothing serious going on..
All the best...
