Swollen areola in mid-pregnancy may be related to endocrine factors, breast inflammation, contact dermatitis and other reasons.
1. Endocrine factors: the increase of estrogen after pregnancy can stimulate the development of the milk ducts, causing the areola to deepen, manifesting itself as a slightly swollen phenomenon.
2. Mammary gland inflammation: If the mammary gland area is infected by bacteria and other pathogens, it can cause local inflammatory reaction and the phenomenon of swollen areola occurs.
3. Contact dermatitis: If pregnant women are allergic to the underwear fabric components, it can cause local allergic reaction and the phenomenon of swollen areola.
It is recommended that people with swollen areola in mid-pregnancy go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
