Therefore, any disease of the human body may be manifested through the magnetic induction of the armpits. For example, some symptoms will cause pain in the armpits. If a woman experiences armpit pain in her daily life, she must pay attention to it and find out the cause immediately.

What causes armpit pain in women?

1.Neuritis

In many cases, neuritis is the main cause of armpit pain in patients. After many studies, it was found that the vast majority of patients with neuritis had a history of vaccination and cold before becoming ill. Generally speaking, the group that is most likely to suffer from neuritis is mostly young people. In the early stages of the disease, the pain is mostly located in the base of the neck, supraclavicular fossa or shoulder on one side, and the manifestations of the pain are mainly burning and pricking, and this type of pain is intermittent.

As time goes by, the pain caused by neuritis will worsen, and may also spread to the arm, upper arm and arm in the same direction. When the upper limbs are externally rotated or raised, the pain in the armpit will be more obvious.

2. Breast hyperplasia

This condition is generally common in female patients. Compared with men, women are much more likely to suffer from breast hyperplasia. If the armpit pain is caused by breast hyperplasia, its characteristics include swelling and tingling, and may even affect one or both breasts. If the condition is more serious, the injured area should not be touched casually, and it may also affect normal daily life and work. The pain is mainly centered in the breast lump, and may also radiate to the armpit, chest, ribs, or shoulders and back of the affected limb.

3. Catch a cold

If the body is exposed to cold for a long time, armpit pain will also occur. According to Chinese medicine, armpit pain is mostly caused by cold. In addition, excessive muscle strain may cause Qi deficiency, blood stasis, and obstruction of the belt meridian, resulting in pain symptoms. As the saying goes, "pain occurs when there is blockage, while fine blockage does not cause pain", so qi deficiency and blood stasis are another key cause of armpit pain. For these groups, basic cold-proof measures must be taken in daily life.

In the event of pain and other symptoms, special attention should be paid to rest more and avoid excessive fatigue, which may aggravate the patient's condition and even affect the health of the entire shoulder and arm.

4. Nervousness and anxiety

I believe that many people don’t know that in fact, in many cases, pain and other symptoms often occur under the armpits, which are also closely related to the psychological level. If the patient is nervous and anxious for a long time, it will cause nervous tension and cause pain. In addition to psychological factors, long-term incorrect posture, local inflammation, heart and brain ischemic diseases, etc. are all common causes of armpit pain.
