i'am 21 years olds ,, i have noticed a swelloen lymph nodes in armpit before a year ago and i did an ultrasound pictures and it sized only 2 mm
and now after i did another ultrasounds pictures and its sized 13 and BILATERAL wich means its not reactive .. painless and palpable
no medical history or family history with breast cancer
breast normal
CBC normal
no focal inflammtion in ultrasounds

Are they still swollen from one year ago ?
Not reactive or from infections.... how do you know that
yes i did an ultrasound before a year ago and it was 2mm and now its 13mm and the other one is 9mm ,, which means that it still growing another meaning that its Not REACTIVE
and abt the infections ,, its not painful at all and beside to that they are from very long time ago which is definitely not infections !
