My daughter has a lump about the size of a golf ball in her left armpit. It is semi soft but does grow bigger and harder and then it proceeds to leak milky fluid out and goes down in size. She is pregnant now and had it happen 4 years ago when she was pregnant with my other grandchild. She has been to the doctor and they said it was not lymph nodes but something to do with ducts. As I am not there with her to go to the doctor, do you have any thoughts on what it could be?
Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.  She has lump in armpit with milky discharge.  It increases in size at time of pregnancy.  So it can be pregnancy induced changes in axillary breast or galactose.  She should go for fine needle aspiration cytology and if needed go for mammography.  It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
