Biaxillary

/baɪˈæk.sɪ.ler.i/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or involving both armpits or axillae; having structures on both sides under the arms.

Etymology

From Latin 'bi-' (two) plus 'axillaris' (relating to the armpit or axilla). This medical term describes bilateral conditions or structures in the armpit region.

Kelly Says

In medical exams, doctors check 'biaxillary lymph nodes' on both sides—if they're enlarged on just one side, that's a red flag, but symmetric swelling is more likely just your body fighting an infection!
