A member asked:
I had a fine needle aspiration on left breast and now can feel a tiny lump in armpit, could fna cause swollen glands?

Yes: A local reaction can occur from manipulation of the breast. It is your body's reaction to the irritation to the breast.

Need to see doc: You need to go back to your doctor and have her or him take another look. You also need to ask about the results of the previous biopsy. Any lump in the breast or armpit needs to be taken seriously and evaluated by a professional. This may be completely benign but it is best to make sure. All the best, ariel.
