Paramastia is also known as ectopic breast. In general, the growth of small nipples on top of ectopic breasts is a normal physiological symptom.
Ectopic breast, a type of breast tissue that appears in addition to the breast, is mostly associated with development in the mother’s body and is a congenital developmental abnormality. However, whether or not nipples grow on ectopic mammary glands varies from person to person, with some patients growing them and some not.
Patients who develop nipples on ectopic mammary glands usually do so due to the increase in estrogen levels during puberty, which promotes the development of breast tissue. At this time, the paramedian breasts are the same as normal breasts, and are even able to produce milk normally.
In addition, breast enlargement may also occur in ectopic breasts. If it is accompanied by swelling and pain, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time, so as not to cause breast hyperplasia or even cancer. If the ectopic mammary gland is large and affects the aesthetics, or if it is painful or hard, it can be treated by surgical excision.
It is recommended that patients with ectopic mammary glands should consult a doctor in a timely manner and take appropriate treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
