Picture of lumps under the armpit after pregnancy

During pregnancy, various growth hormone indexes of pregnant women increase, and their physical constitution is slightly sensitive. Some pregnant women will develop pimples under their armpits during pregnancy, and they are also accompanied by pain. What is going on?

During pregnancy, if there is a painful lump in the armpit, it may appear in the following categories:

1. Lymph nodes

We need to drag the lump of flesh under the armpit. If it can be dragged, it may be a lymph node. As long as the lymph nodes are below 0.5 and different, it is normal and does not require treatment. However, if you feel pain, you need to go to the hospital for examination.

2. Sebaceous cyst

If the fleshy bump under the armpit cannot be dragged, we need to see if it has black spots. If so, it is a sebaceous cyst. If it is a sebaceous cyst, surgical treatment is required. Under normal circumstances, it is not easy to cause lesions. It is just easy to get inflamed after pressing lightly, and it will fester in severe cases.

3. Fibroma

If the lump under the armpit cannot be dragged and there are no black spots, we also have to consider whether the lump is soft or hard. If it is hard, it may be a fibroid. If it is a fibroid, surgical treatment is required. Under normal circumstances, fibroids need to be properly treated and are prone to lesions. However, at this stage of pregnancy, it is not necessary to temporarily deal with it until surgery or other treatments are performed after the baby is born.

4. Lipoma

If the lump under the armpit cannot be dragged, has no black spots, and is soft, it may be a lipoma. If it is a lipoma, surgical treatment is required, in which the superficial fat mass may be lesioned. At present, you are in the pregnancy period and you don’t need to deal with it temporarily.

5. Axillary accessory breast

Axillary accessory breasts are unnecessary breasts that appear in addition to a normal pair of breasts, usually under the armpits or in front of the armpits. Most people have accessory breasts under their arms, but some people don't show it. Both the armpit accessory breast and the breast are enlarged. Milk will be secreted after giving birth. If the armpit accessory breast is more obvious after the child is weaned, surgical removal should be considered.

During pregnancy, pregnant women will have various problems. Don't worry or be too anxious. You can go to the hospital for relevant examinations and follow the doctor's guidance and advice. At the same time, pregnant women need to gradually develop a good diet and work and rest routine, eat more foods rich in vitamins, calcium, and nuts, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods.
