Do you notice a swelling or extra tissue in the armpit area, especially during periods, pregnancy, or weight gain?
It may be Axillary Breast Tissue, a very common condition seen in women.
Many women mistake it for:
* Fat collection
* A lump
* Swollen lymph node
But in many cases, it is actually extra breast tissue present near the underarm (axilla).
⸻
🔍 What is Axillary Breast?
During fetal development, breast tissue develops along the “milk line.”
Sometimes, a small amount of breast tissue remains in the underarm area.
This is called:
* Accessory breast
* Axillary breast tissue
* Underarm breast tissue
⸻
⚠️ Common Symptoms
Women may experience:
✔ Soft swelling in armpit
✔ Pain or heaviness during periods
✔ Increase in size during pregnancy or breastfeeding
✔ Discomfort in sleeveless clothes
✔ Cosmetic concern or asymmetry
Rarely:
* Milk secretion
* Tenderness
* Infection
⸻
🤰 Why does it increase during pregnancy?
Since axillary breast tissue responds to hormones just like normal breast tissue, it may enlarge during:
* Pregnancy
* Breastfeeding
* Hormonal imbalance
* Weight gain
⸻
🩺 Is Axillary Breast Dangerous?
Most cases are completely benign (non-cancerous).
However, proper examination is important because:
* Breast lumps can occur in accessory tissue also
* Sometimes it mimics lymph node swelling
👉 Ultrasound may be advised if needed.
