This is all you need to know about why breast tissue can swell in your armpits. The human body is amazing. The changes that come with pregnancy and breastfeeding are both inspiring and incredible, and anyone who has experienced them deserves a serious round of applause. Although many of these changes are well known (the maternal milk that changes to meet the needs of the baby, ligaments loosen and spread the bones to allow the baby to pass through the birth channel, a body that is able to nourish and grow a baby from conception to childhood and beyond), they are still truly amazing. But recently many of us learned about the existence of something new, something we had not seen before, something that stopped even breastfeeding the breastfeeders on their tracks. What was this shocking discovery? Pitties. An anonymous and sincere photo posted on Twitter showed a picture of a person with his arm raised, collecting in two large lumps on his arm. Turns out the lumps were breast tissue that had gotten fat with milk, so the name "pitides". What are Pitties? As strange as this phenomenon may seem, it is not unusual, it should not surprise anyone whose body has confused them doing something unexpected while pregnant or breast-feeding. The mummary tissue is not only found in the breasts. There is a structure called which extends beyond the breast itself and the armpit. Since it is connected to the main milk-producing tissues in the breast can be fattened. However, unlike the engorgement of the breasts in which the breast itself swells and becomes tight, the engorgement in the armpit is a little different. "The engorgement that happens seems to be egg-shaped packages under the armpits," explains Andrea Tran, RN, BSN, MA, IBCLC and expert behind the website. The Pitties are leaving? Engorgement in armpits occurs earlier in breastfeeding, while milk supply is being established. "It's breast tissue that doesn't drain well and so, the gum is experienced mainly when the milk comes first. Due to the poor drainage in that area, those milk-producing cells stop producing," Tran explains. Engorgement here should be treated in the same way as fatty breasts, compressors and the patience of alcohol, and should be resolved in 24 to 48 hours. All things considered, the milk that is created in your armpit is probably one of the least strange things that can happen during breastfeeding, but if you're not expecting it, talk about a surprise. Luckily, it's harmless and easily solved, so there's no need to be scared if you wake up one morning with lump holes.

More...More...More...More...More...You are hereLump under armpit *Update*Sign up to post11 posts since11 Oct 2019***Update on comments . I am absolutely petrified! I found a lump in September. Very small. Under my armpit. I was pregnant at the time. I asked my husband to feel it, but he said he could bear it. He thought maybe it was a cyst. I left him. I had to deal with pregnancy and it was hard. But I had my baby five days ago. Cheers and happy. And in the shower I found the same dough. But this time you can see it very small jusy looking and definitely feel it. And it's difficult and not painful. I've been with the doctor and have put an urgent reference to the breast clinic and should listen to it in 2 weeks. She said I couldn't squeeze my breasts properly because my milk is inside and I'm not breast-feeding. So they're very big and full of milk. But she was worried that I raised my arms and she could still feel it and kept repeating that she's still prominent. I'm absolutely petrified. I'm 28 years old and a 5-day baby. And I did the worst I could and I asked for help from Google! Will the breast clinic be able to test with my breast full of milk? I wonder if anyone's been in the same situation. Leeanne x4177 posts since11 Oct 2010Hello Leeanne, just wanted to welcome you to our forum. It must be very stressful for you right now and I hope that all this will not prevent you from enjoying your new baby. Great congratulations on your baby's birth and I hope you can get some clarity on all this very soon. You did the right thing to go see the doctor about this and I hope you don't have to wait too long for your appointment at the breast clinic. I know it's very difficult but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep you busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking at things online. As you know, Dr. Google must never be trusted. I can imagine it's hard for you to do this right now but it will help you feel a little less anxious. I hope you also hear from others here who have been through all this before and have been in a similar situation and will soon be together to share their story with you. Keep everything crossed for you that everything goes well. Best wishes, Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator11 posts since11 Oct 2019 I wanted to write an update! I read a lot of things in this place that were very similar to me. And if I was going through them... I wanted to see a positive result to calm my mind. To reassure me, it might be okay! But most of the time you don't know what's going on with these people or what was the result. So I wanted to update my story. Even if it puts a person in mind at ease. So I found a lump in late pregnancy. I was the only one who could feel it. My husband or sister couldn't. So I forgot about it (pregnancy problems made it easier)Fast forward. I had my beautiful healthy baby on October 6. I went home with post-pregnancy gems starting to start. I was in pain after pain. Hemorrhage began the ect of pained breasts. I went to shower and wept my eyes when I felt a big lump under my arm. I screamed for my husband. Whoever immediately told me to call the doctor in the morning. This lump could be seen as sense and it was the same place I felt it a few months before. So I went to the doctors the next day. She told me that because my milk had entered I couldn't examine my chest as she would have liked it. But he went on to examine the package. It was very tense. I was sweating and burning, so scared. It wasn't very positive. He felt around and said "yes, he's still prominent" and always had a severe look on his face. She told me to get dressed and I got out of the curtain sitting and I was hoping she'd say it's just a cyst. But unfortunately he didn't. She said, "I'm going to give you an urgent reference to the breast clinic" "you have to get a date in three weeks" she wrote. I tried to contain tears. She didn't say anything like she wrote. And then he looked at me and said if anything changes he makes another appointment and comes back. As I came out with tears running through my face. I have no idea what they just told me or didn't tell me or what it was. He asked me if there's any history of breast cancer in your family. I said no. And she said OK, now I'll get on that reference. And I was very disappointed with surgery. Concerning the Only One Week of Post Baby and the Care of Mothers Speaking of Ptsd or Depression. Blue baby. I felt lost and alone. I went home and wept and wept... And I went to get help from Dr. Google (the worst idea ever) And I convinced myself that I had cancer. I was 1 week after pregnancy with a 1 week and 5 year old baby. I cried every minute of every day. I saw my husband and wept how he would face without me. How do we explain to the boys about Mom? Can I face it? My baby would know who it was. I experienced burning pain in that armpit. Feeling bad. I was going to google to symptom and I know I had it. She had cancer. The three-week wait was horrible. I drove to a deep dark place. I went to my date and saw Dr. Ella was amazing. It made me feel comfortable from beginning to end. He kept me relaxed. Asked by my boys. He asked me what iv was like. How was my baby. And with a big smile on his face he said I'm sure this is a swollen milk duct. She kept explaining how it happens and what it was. He said when my milk jug will. And he did. And I miss all the "symptomas" I had. He left the time he told me he didn't have cancer. I know everyone will, I did, but I must underline the importance of staying out of Google. I had 90% of the symptoms of breast cancer but your mind plays tricks I in you and once you read it, you do something for nothing. You'll be convinced you have it. I'm so lucky it wasn't cancer and it was like the doctor said. My baby's 9 weeks old and we all wait for Christmas as a family. Those three weeks felt like the worst in my life and I can't imagine how people who unfortunately have bad news should feel. But if this has taught me something. It's cancer or not life is too short. Live love and forgive. And appreciate your ear every minute. I missed the first few weeks of my baby life. And that's my fault. I drove down and the deep dark road was that I wanted to do nothing. I didn't want to eat. I didn't leave the house. I didn't even want to shower. And Google was an important part of why he was in trouble. So stay positive. And stay away from Dr. Google. Merry Christmas to all x 4 posts from18 Dec 2019 Thank you for the update. I'm going through a big worry now hoping my wives will result from nail removal last week, I feel that your unlikley is cancer but Surgeon was very rude and just said we'll get results by the end of January. So hard when a dr doesn't give you information or support. So Christmas ruined me. It gives me some comfort to hear the story. Thank you. 11 posts since11 Oct 2019I'm so sorry to hear your concerns. I definitely agree. Expectation is worse when you are not given the right support and information. I know the doctor I saw couldn't tell me what I wanted to hear but a smile and a positive attitude and maybe "don't worry" "there could be a number of possibilities." I would definitely have made 3 weeks wait a lot more manageable. But if you can say something that is cancer, it doesn't mean the end. I met a lot of women who had cancer and years still living there the best life. My father had melanoma cancer. He lost his eye on him but 10 years this week he keeps saying nope of cancer. You're not winning and he's being the best pappa pirate for my guys, I know it's hard and easier to say than to do it but try not to worry. From experience. My husband was so positive, and even though I didn't think he'd tell me he'd be okay, we'd be fine, and no matter what happened, we'd take care of it and we'd be fine... I was angry when I was honest... How would it be? How could it be... But looking back... He and his positive attitude is what made me pass. As hard as it is. Smile and keep your hand and enjoy your Christmas. He may not say it but what he needs. And talk to someone... anyone. You need support too. I'm always available for a chat. I wish you a happy result Глени and a happy Christmas recent discussions waiting for a diagnosisSpeak to a nurse Quick Links Follow us
