Why my armpits are swollen and hurts a week before i get my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast tissue: Many women have breast tissue which extends to their axillary areas (tail of spence) and experience such discomfort. Use analgesics such as Ibuprofen for the pain. If these areas are enlarging or you are uncertain about them, check with your doctor.
