A member asked:

I was wondering is a lump in your armpit around your period normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe...: Part of the breast extends into the armpit. Tender lumps in breast tissue are common around the time of your period. Most likely, this is a b-9 lump. However, any lump you find that is new should be investigated by your doctor to be sure. Best wishes!
