A member asked:
When you do ultrasound under armpits are you required to get a mammogram due to swollen lymph nodes that have decreased significantly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No absolute indication for mammogram if your axillary (armpit) lymph node's pain and enlargement are reactive, especially they got smaller after the acute phase.
