Swollen Lymph Nodes In Armpits, Normally During Periods. Previous Hysterectomy. Advise?
I had a hysterectomy 6 months ago and for the last 2 to 3 months I've been having bouts of swollen lymph nodes in my armpits, usually around the type my period would be. I still have my ovaries. I'm worried and too scared to go to the doctor. I had similar problem 15 years ago before I had my first child. I stopped drinking caffeine and coffee and it seemed to go away. I've stopped drinking coffee and any caffeine.....still having issues especially around the time of my period.

Hi , you had hysterectomy 6 months back, having bouts of swollen lymph nodes in arm pits around the time of your period.
If the lymph nodes are not bothering you can neglect them, and use some pain killers like aciclphanec, and if necessory with paracetamol, with your doctors advise. If bothersome you can go for treatment. Thank you.
