What Could Cause Enlargement Of Montgometry Glands?

I just noticed that my Montgomery Glands are very enlarged and I am trying to figure out why. All I can find online is that it can be a sign of pregnancy but I really don t think I am. I also just started taking prednisone steroids for bronchitis and was wondering if that could cause it?

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Yes prednisone being a steroid can interfere with normal hormones of the body and due to hormonal imbalances you may have enlarged glands. And your bronchitis can be cured without oral steroids.consult pulmonologist 1s get done chest x ray and pulmonary function test (PFT) and diagnose what you have. Inhaled therapy is now recommended for bronchitis. Long acting beta 2 agonist and corticosteroids are cornerstone of this. So avoid oral steroids and consult pulmonologist for bronchitis.
