Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns.
l have seen the attached images. The lumps that you have observed in both the armpits is the enlarged breast tail which usually swells due to overactivity of breast glands during breast feeding. This is a physiological change and is not related to any abnormality.
These lumps usually reduce on their own after you stop the breast feeding. There is no need to worry. You can get it examined by your gynecologist to confirm this further.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
