The difference between accessory breast and lymph

The hot summer has already arrived, and many ladies who pursue beauty have put on various beautiful camisole tops or long-sleeved dresses early on. When wearing such thin clothes, some women will find that there is a lump of meat-like substance under their armpits. If you are careful and check some medical literature on the Internet, you may find that this condition is very similar to axillary accessory breast. Some women do not want to believe that they have axillary accessory breast, so they go to the hospital to consult a doctor: What is the difference between axillary lymph nodes and axillary accessory breast? Now I will give you a detailed explanation of this issue, hoping to help those friends who pursue beauty.

Axillary lymph nodes and axillary accessory breast are two different substances and should not be confused. If you carefully identify the two, there are significant differences.

1. The materials are different. The axillary lymph nodes can usually be felt at the deepest part of the armpit. They appear as movable lumps the size of soybeans, and have no sensory nerves when pressed lightly. If you have an infection, the lymph nodes under your armpit will gradually swell. The accessory breast under the armpit is not a soybean-sized lump. The volume of the accessory breast is slightly smaller than that of the normal breast. The growth and development of the breast and nipple are often separated, and only a glandular duct lump can be felt under the armpit.

2. The internal structure is different. The material of the axillary lymph nodes is relatively hard and has a non-glandular structure. The internal structure of the axillary accessory breast is basically the same as that of the breasts of the body. When a woman is pregnant and breastfeeding, due to the stimulation of estrogen and female hormones, the volume of the axillary accessory breast will increase significantly. Some patients' axillary accessory breasts even have nipples, which are also functional mammary glands and will secrete milk during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Based on the above introduction, what is the difference between axillary lymph nodes and axillary accessory breast? The editor has already introduced to you the significant differences between the two. Axillary lymph nodes and axillary accessory breast are two different substances. Axillary lymph nodes refer to lymph nodes, which are located in the deepest part of the armpit and are easy to touch when infected. They are soybean-sized. The accessory breast under the armpit is mainly manifested as the same structure as the breast tissue under the armpit. It will expand during a woman's pregnancy and lactation, and can also secrete milk.
