Swollen lymph glands?


ive had severel swollen glands under my left armpit at first there was only one big one and i was 16 at the time, now im 25 and theres still the big one but lots of little ones clustered around it, it hurts if i investigate them and sometimes when im on my period they swell more and hurt more. i use to self harm by cutting my arms and the doctor has told me its because of that but its really worrying me because i worry that maybe its cancerous or could turn into cancer if the lumps arent removed, can anyone help? ty xx

You need to see your gynecologist and have a mammogram to rule out cancer, because breast cancer does affect the lymph nodes at times. I don't see how cutting your arms has anything to do with swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are a part of your immune system and become swollen when there's something wrong in your body (like an infection, for example). If they were cutting scars, they would not swell due to hormone fluctuations. Please see another doc and find out what is wrong. It may not be cancer, but you do need to find out.

Don't worry, I don't think you have cancer. You probably have plague.

it sounds alot like a cyst-and I dont know why the dr. didnt say it- theyre harmless huge zits. Also swollen glands are a sure sign of infection somewhere

I suggest you see a doctor, even if it's at a clinic. I have had the same problem with my throat and glands sweeling and had to take antiboitics several times. Good luck, lemme know how you make out.

sometimes when im on my period they swell more and hurt more.
I think you may have axillary breast.However the final diagnosis should base on biopsy

Don't agree with that doctor. Make an appointment with an oncologist (a specialist). See sites below to check out to see if you should consult with a physician.

My husband had a large swollen lymph gland in his neck. He went in and had it checked. It was cancer of the tongue (caused by 2nd hand smoke) that had spread to the lymph gland. He survived, thankfully, but with cancer, time is of the essence. Get to a doctor who isn't too lazy to find out what is really going on. Now.
