Is it possible to get endometriosis at armpit? i got a lump at my r axilla every month, it comes just before few days of my periods and goes with it.

Endometriosis armpit: Not possible for endometriosis in the armpit. However you may have some breast tissue in the arm pit area that would swell with your periods every month.

Probably Not Endo: This is unlikely to be endometriosis. It is much more likely to be breast tissue that extends out into the armpit. Many womens have this and they get monthly changes to the tissue with their menstrual cycle.
