Areola changes after pregnancy

After pregnancy, due to the influence of hormone secretion in the body, the color of the nipples will become darker, the size of the nipples will expand, the nipples will become larger, and the color of the nipples will become darker. During this period, the sebaceous glands in the outer field will continue to thicken, causing scattered lumps, or protrusions, and Montessori nodules to appear. At this time, the breasts also begin to expand, and the hematoma is more obvious. Pregnant women will feel swelling in the breasts and accompanied by a slight tenderness, or a tingling sensation. The veins in the subcutaneous tissue will be obviously visible. This is a physiological condition and there is no need to worry too much. Pay attention to hygiene and cleanliness as much as possible in daily life, and wear loose cotton underwear to reduce pressure on local tissues. You also need to pay attention to your daily diet and avoid eating spicy or irritating foods.

After the patient becomes pregnant, the nipples and breasts will undergo the following changes: the patient's nipples will become darker in color, slowly changing from light pink to dark brown, the patient's nipples will also slowly grow larger, and the nipples will become thicker and easier to erect. However, after a woman becomes pregnant, these changes in the nipples and nipples occur gradually as the pregnancy progresses, and do not occur in the early stages of pregnancy.

Therefore, it is normal for the nipples and breasts to not change at first after the patient becomes pregnant. It is probably after 2 months of pregnancy that the patient's estrogen and progesterone levels increase significantly, and then the patient's nipples and breasts will show obvious changes. Especially in the late stages of pregnancy, when the patient is about to give birth, the patient's nipples will appear to become noticeably darker in color, becoming dark brown.

The so-called one week of pregnancy generally refers to one week after having sex, because if you follow the commonly said number of days of pregnancy, you start calculating from the expected date of delivery, which is at least 20 days of pregnancy. Because a week after intercourse, the sperm and egg may have just combined and the embryo has just implanted, and the body's estrogen and progesterone levels have not yet increased significantly, so at this time there is generally no significant change in the nipples. Generally, it takes about ten days after intercourse for the areola to darken in color and increase in area, and even a lump-like protrusion to appear in the nipple area, due to the stimulation of hormones in the body.
