Why do girls have hair on their chests?

The breast is a particularly important part of the female body. If you want to keep your breasts healthy, you must observe your breasts more often. Some women found hair growing on their nipples when cleaning their breasts, and some people's nipples even turned black, which frightened them. Therefore, some people ask why women grow hair on their areola? Why do nipples turn black? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

What causes areola hair?

Hair grows along with the growth of the skin. The growth of nipple hair on women depends on the specific situation. Generally speaking, the hair is light in color and very small in number, no more than ten strands, so there is no need to worry too much. Next, we will discuss in detail the reasons why areola hair grows.

1. Physiological areola hair growth

Everyone has hair follicles around their nipples, and the nipples will begin to grow hair during the growth stage, so almost all women have nipple hair growth problems to varying degrees. Some women have a few tufts of fine hair around their nipples, like the hair on a peach; some women have longer, noticeable body hair all over the middle of their chest.

2. Physiologically, there is too much hair on the nipples

There is also a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome, which is also an endocrine disease in which the ovaries are enlarged with many small cysts filled with fluid, the level of male hormones is elevated, and ovulation cannot occur. This type of patients will have excessive hair and excessive hair around the nipples. If this is the case, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible to rule out pathological factors causing the disease.

Summary: If women have a lot of hair on their nipples, it is normal unless it is physiological. Because each of us has hair follicles around the nipples, which will gradually start to grow hair when they start to grow. Some women will have a lot of nipple hair. After menopause, the growth of nipple hair on the breasts will generally slow down and gradually disappear.

Why do nipples turn black?

In daily life, many women suffer from the trouble of darkening areola. When they see their dark nipples, they always feel that they are sick, so they are worried every day. In fact, the darkening of areola is not necessarily caused by diseases. The following is a detailed introduction to the reasons that cause the darkening of areola for your reference.

1. Sun exposure

Wearing a swimsuit without sun protection or isolation will make the fabric more transparent after drainage, allowing the sun to erode your chest. Or if you like to wear thin and transparent clothes, don’t wear underwear, and don’t use sunscreen, all of these can cause your areola to darken.

2. Wearing rough underwear

The uneven material of underwear can cause constant friction on the nipples, which can also lead to melanin deposition. Girls' progesterone will be secreted in large quantities at the beginning of each menstruation, and melanocytes due to the stimulation of progesterone will also promote the secretion of large amounts of gray, so the areola becomes darker and heavier.

3. Too much stimulation

Too much sexual intercourse, baby sucking milk, as well as liking to wipe the body with a sponge and not being good at facial exfoliation can cause melanin deposition. As the body's physiological functions change after adulthood, the body's melanocytes are stimulated by progesterone, which promotes the secretion of a large amount of body pigments. Therefore, the nipples will gradually darken from light pink to brown-black and then from brown-black to gray-black.

4. Pregnancy

Changes in male hormones cause the areola to become larger and darker. Even after giving birth, the male hormones gradually recover and the areola size will never return to its pre-pregnancy state. During pregnancy and after childbirth, women's livers continue to adjust emotional fetal toxins, which leads to liver function impairment. Coupled with the influence of male hormones, the pigmentation increases sharply and settles, so the nipples also become darker and heavier.

5. Higher estrogen levels

Women with higher estrogen levels will have darker nipples, darker nipples and labia minora, which is a healthy female characteristic. Women who have reached menopause will have a light pink tint on their nipples, nipples and labia due to low estrogen levels. Melanin levels increase, physiological functions are hindered, female menopausal production factors occur, and the basal metabolism of epidermal cells is slowed down.

Based on the above detailed introduction, I think beauties have a lot of knowledge about the reasons why areola hair grows and areola becomes darker. The editor reminds you that if you want breast health, you must take care of your nipples in time, because the nipples are also part of the breasts.
