After giving birth, is it necessary to see a doctor for a lump in the armpit?

Question

I recently gave birth to my second child via C-section on July 13, 2020. My baby boy weighed 3.7 kg, and my health has been normal. However, today I noticed two lumps in my armpit, which are painful when touched. Could you please advise me on how and where I should get examined?

Thank you!

Hello, thank you for reaching out to the Vinmec International Healthcare System. The appearance of two painful lumps in your armpit can have various causes, such as a postpartum inflammatory response or axillary lymphadenopathy. You may visit the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at Vinmec International General Hospital for an examination and diagnosis.
