What Causes Lump In The Breast And Underarm?

I have my period and about a week ago I felt a small lump in my underarm, it hurt for a few days then went away. Today I noticed it again it´s a lot smaller. Also every month a week before I start my period I get a lump in my brest which is apparently a sist but it´s benign, after my period it disappears.

HI. undergone through the classical nice history you have given.
This is a classical finding in a condition called '' fibroadenosis''. This is a group of benign lesions.
These are hormone dependent.
So they grow and pain and reduce as per your cycle.
Nothing much to worry except for the discomfort they do.
Yet to confirm -go for an FNAC- fine needle aspiration cytology.
You can get rid of it if it is small by a small surgery; the problem goes away and one gets tissue diagnosis.
