Is accessory breast a sign of lymphatic blockage?

We all know that breasts are a major feature of the female body, and plump breasts will make a woman's figure look more sexy. However, breasts are not just a tool for women to show their sexy side, but are closely related to physical health. Breast diseases, in particular, can cause great harm to women. So, is accessory breast caused by lymphatic blockage?

What is accessory breast?

As the name suggests, it is an extra "breast". Some are swollen, bulging masses of soft flesh, while others look like real breasts. Generally, it occurs in the armpits, the upper and lower inner sides of the breasts, and also in special areas such as the abdomen and groin.

What are lymph nodes?

Lymph nodes are important immune organs in the human body. A normal person has about 500-600 lymph nodes. Lymph nodes can be divided into superficial lymph nodes and deep lymph nodes according to their location. The lymph nodes examined in actual clinical work are mainly superficial lymph nodes. Deep lymph node enlargement often has no symptoms in the early stages and can only be detected through special tests such as lymphangiography and radionuclide scanning. The diameter of normal lymph nodes is mostly between 0.2 and 0.5 cm. They are often distributed in groups, have a soft texture, a smooth surface, no tenderness, and no adhesion to the surrounding tissues. They are generally difficult to touch except for 1 to 2 nodes that can be occasionally touched in the submandibular, groin, and axillae. Lymph node enlargement may be felt due to inflammation or tumor. Each group of lymph nodes collects lymph from the corresponding drainage area. Understanding the relationship between the two is of great clinical significance for determining the location and nature of the primary lesion.
