What Could Constant Swollen Axillary Lymph Node Suggest?

Hi, I am a 39 yr old with a swollen and tendre axillary lymph node on the left side. This has been occuring for the last year when I begin my menstrual cycle. My last general Dr. said it was from hormones after my last son. It has been 5 years and the pain each cycle increases. Once my menstrual cycle is finished the swelling and pain disappear. What am I dealing with?
