Areola color change after pregnancy

After pregnancy, the influence of hormonal secretions in the body leads to an increase in the color of the areola, an enlargement of the areola, and an increase in the color of the nipples. This period is also accompanied by hypertrophy of the peripheral sebaceous glands, which form scattered nodules, or augmentations, and the appearance of Montserrat’s nodules. At this time, the breasts begin to increase in size, and the engorgement is more obvious. Pregnant women may feel swelling and slight tenderness or tingling in the breasts, showing that the veins under the skin are clearly visible, which is a physiological phenomenon, so do not worry too much. Try to pay attention to hygiene, pay attention to cleaning, and wear loose cotton underwear to reduce the pressure on local tissues. Also need to pay attention to the diet, do not eat spicy, stimulating food.
