What Are the Common Causes of Armpit Swelling?

The axilla (pinyin yè w), commonly known as the "armpit", has hyperhidrosis in the cortex. The nerves and blood vessels that govern the upper limbs are distributed, and there are lymph node clusters in the fossa. The lymphatics in the chest wall and back of the upper limbs are pooled. They are called "three major health zones of the human body" by the doctors (the other two refer to the dorsal and umbilical areas).

The armpit, commonly known as the "armpit," is a pyramidal space on the anterior side of the shoulder, located on the inner side of the humerus joint, between the medial side of the humerus and the chest wall. The armpit has 4 walls, the front and back walls are oblique, the inner wall is prominent and the outer wall is narrow, and there are bottom and top. The apex is surrounded by 1/3 of the clavicle, the first rib and the upper edge of the scapula. It is the upper mouth of the axilla and communicates with the root of the neck. The bottom is shallow to deep skin fascia and axillary fascia. The skin is connected to the axillary fascia by a fibrous septum. The central part of the axillary fascia is weak, and it has a sieve-like shape with cutaneous nerves, superficial blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels passing through it, hence the name sieve-like fascia. The anterior wall is composed of pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, subclavian muscle and clavicle fascia. The clavicle fascia is triangular in shape and is located between the subclavian muscle, pectoralis minor, and coracoid process. The fascia below the pectoralis minor muscle is connected to the axillary fascia and is called the axillary ligament. The outer wall is composed of the humeral nodular sulcus, the short head of the biceps brachii, and the rostral brachial muscle. The inner wall is composed of the anterior serratus and its upper 4 ribs and intercostal space. The posterior wall is composed of the subscapularis, the great round muscle, the latissimus dorsi and the scapula. Because the long head of the triceps muscle passes between the great round muscle, the subscapularis muscle, and the small round muscle, the medial side is a trilateral hole, and the scapular blood vessels pass through. , With axillary nerves and posterior brachial vessels passing ^[1]

Where our upper limbs and shoulders are connected, there is a recessed part called armpit, which is also called armpit, armpit, or pinch pocket. The axillary parts of other organisms are also called. The feeling of being tickled by the armpit is both pleasant and painful, but do you know what effect the armpit has on the human body and what are the mysteries? For example, the bud that emerges at the junction of a plant's leaf and stalk is called an "axillary bud". The axillary refers to the fox's underarm fur. The idiom "set armpits into furs" means: Although the fur under the fox's armpits is small, they can be sewn together to form a leather robe, which is used as a metaphor to accumulate less. In ancient poems, the so-called "awareness of the two axillary arms" is the same as the fur under the beast's armpits.

Armpit underarm odor

Underarm odor, that is, "Body odor", often brings a lot of inconvenience, because the pungent smell of body odor makes people feel particularly annoying. Most people who smell this smell cover their noses and stay away, which causes a lot of people with body odor. The psychological burden and feeling of inferiority affect work and study, and communication.

[Basic overview]

Axillary odor, commonly known as body odor, is a special unpleasant odor emitted from the sweat glands secreted on the skin of the body, such as the underarms, perineum, and back. It is even worse in summer, and most often occurs during adolescence. It can be reduced or disappeared.

The name of the disease, the special smell of the underarm sweat, see the "Taiwan Secret" Volume 23, also known as odor, odor. "The source of the disease is underarm odor, such as the onions, also said The fox's qi, so called the odor, are all blood and discord, so the odor, the human body and the underarms are like fox qi, the world is called the stink. "

[symptom]

Body odor is a kind of body odor. The heavier taste tends to make people feel uncomfortable. According to statistics, Europeans and Americans have up to 80% of people with body odor and about 10% of people in the East. However, Westerners think this is a common physiological phenomenon and don't care.

Although there is less body odor in Eastern society, the color of the smell is always embarrassing to the parties. What is the cause of body odor? Generally speaking, there are two types of sweat glands. One is the exocrine gland, also known as the small sweat gland. Water and 0.5% salt. The other is the apical plasma gland, also known as the sweat gland, which is located in the dermal layer of the skin and opens at the root of the hair. It is only distributed under the armpits or genitals and eyebrows. It secretes a thicker liquid that contains oil. , Protein and iron. Then the bacteria on the underarms break down and secrete sweat to form a foul odor.

[treatment]

Surgery is a thorough treatment. A simple fusiform excision of the hairy area is used to treat the underarm odor by pulling the suture around the wound edge, but due to excessive skin resection and large suture tension, it is easy to cause the incision to open completely or partially, and it may also cause scar contracture in the later stage, which affects upper limb activity. Therefore, it should not be used. Generally, "nano-minimally invasive sweat gland removal" is used for treatment, which not only removes the sweat glands in the dermis, but also does not cause flap defects, wounds to open, and scar contracture.
