I have got a lump in my underarms. It usually comes n goes. It doesn't stay always. I'm in my periods now and I want to get a mammography scan done to check. Kindly advise whether it is preferable to get the scan done in the periods.

It is better to do the scan when you can feel the lump.

Mammography will not be done before 35 yrs of age. May be related to your periods. Get a ultrasound of your lump.
