In daily life, many women suffer from tingling pain in their armpits. What is the reason? What causes tingling in women’s armpits? What are the common problems with armpit pain? The editor will explain them to you one by one!

What causes pain in women's armpits?

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.

Women with the disease usually experience symptoms such as breast pain and armpit pain a few days before their period, and the pain is more obvious the closer it is to the onset of menstruation. After the menstrual period, the painful symptoms will gradually subside.

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.

Common problems with armpit pain in women

1. You need to understand that malignant breast tumors can migrate, and often migrate through the lymphatic vessels. This will reach the lymph nodes under the armpit on the same side of the woman. At this time, the patient will often feel pain under the armpit. Therefore, if a woman feels pain under the armpit, she needs to go for a check-up as soon as possible.

2. The second thing to note is that since the breast and armpit are close to each other, the blood supply of the breast, the flow of tissue fluid and the nerve distribution are all closely related to the armpit. When a patient suffers from acute mastitis, the inflammation often passes through the lymphatic vessels of the breast and is transmitted to the lymph nodes under the armpit on the same side of the woman, which will cause the lymph nodes under the armpit of the woman to swell and feel pain.

3. In addition to the above, when a woman suffers from breast hyperplasia, due to changes such as hematoma and edema of the glandular ducts, this will also cause intermittent breast pain in the woman. Here is a reminder for everyone, when women are older, they should often touch their armpits. If there is pain or swollen lymph nodes, they need to go to the hospital for a physical examination in time.

4. Women who often work in the human resources sector often sit more and exercise less, lack exercise, and are less exposed to sunlight. However, exercising and sweating under the sun can remove unnecessary acid and alkaline wastes from the body. When the acid and alkaline compounds in the body increase, it will make the body acidic and alkaline.
