Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Armpit (Axilla) Ultrasound?
If you are experiencing pain, swelling or lumps in your armpit (referred to as the axilla), the quickest, and harmless way to diagnose this issue would be to get an ultrasound.
The armpit is composed of vascular structures such as the artery and vein, nerves and lymph nodes as well as the overlying fat, occasionally accessory breast tissue, skin and subcutaneous glands.
Ultrasound is routinely used for the assessment of the axilla to assess lumps and pain, including in the use of assessing lymph nodes for enlargement and potential involvement in cancer.
Here is an overview of what may be causing lumps and nodules in your armpit, when it’s a good idea to see a doctor, and what an ultrasound procedure involves.
What are common causes of armpit/axilla lumps and masses?
Most lumps are harmless and are usually the result of abnormal tissue growth. However, armpit lumps can be related to a more serious underlying health problem.
You should have your doctor evaluate any unusual lumps you have.
The most common causes of armpit lumps are:
bacterial or viral infections
lipomas (typically harmless, benign fat tissue growths)
a fibroadenoma (a non-cancerous fibrous tissue growth)
hidradenitis suppurativa
allergic reactions
adverse reactions to vaccinations
fungal infections
breast cancer
lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system)
leukaemia (cancer of the blood cells)
systemic lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease that targets your joints and organs)
When should I see a doctor and request an Armpit Axilla Ultrasound Scan?
An armpit lump may feel small. In other cases, it may be extremely noticeable. Armpit lumps may be caused by cysts, infection, or irritation due to shaving or antiperspirant use. However, these lumps may also indicate a serious underlying health condition.
Seek medical attention if you have an armpit lump that gradually becomes enlarged, is or isn’t painful, or doesn’t go away.
Pre-Examination Preparation
No significant preparation is required for this test.
What happens after the exam?
There is no particular type of care required after a female health check ultrasound. You may resume your regular diet and daily activities unless your doctor advises you differently.
There are no confirmed adverse biological effects on patients or instrument operators caused by exposures to ultrasound at the intensity levels used in diagnostic ultrasound.
But depending on your particular results, the doctor may give you additional or alternative instructions after the procedure.
