The name "accessory breast" actually refers to the excess breast tissue growing around the breasts. Careful pregnant women may notice that there are many changes in their body after pregnancy. In addition to the protruding belly, some pregnant women may also have accessory breasts. So, what are the reasons for having accessory breasts during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, the hormone levels in the body of pregnant women will undergo significant changes. The level of progesterone will continue to rise, and the breast tissue will also increase accordingly. Therefore, there will be excess breast tissue growing in the armpits or groin, which is the reason for growing accessory breasts. This is a common and normal phenomenon during pregnancy. Usually, there is no obvious discomfort with long accessory milk, only when there is a large amount of milk secretion, there will be some discomfort and pain.
If pregnant women feel strong swelling and pain, and there is a tendency to form lumps, it should be taken seriously and not ignored to prevent the situation from worsening. When women develop breast milk, measures can be taken to alleviate it, such as appropriate massage. Breast milk will not immediately disappear, and pregnant women can do some breast expansion exercises or raise their arms to improve breast milk. After persisting for a period of time, it can have an effect.
Pregnant women should also choose to wear suitable underwear. If the underwear is not worn properly, it can also lead to the growth of accessory breasts. The size of the underwear should be chosen to be suitable for the pregnant woman herself, and should not be too loose or too tight. Moreover, there are specialized underwear sold on the market to improve accessory breasts, which pregnant women can choose to wear.
