A member asked:

Could lactose intolerance have any connection at all to a tender enlarged lymph node in the armpit/breast area? just asking..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lymph node: It is unlikely that lactose intolerance would be responsible for breast symptoms or an enlarged lymph node. Lactose intolerance is usually a GI problem. The node you are describing should be evaluated and examined by your doctor.
