During the embryonic stage, from the armpit to the groin, each baby has 6-8 pairs of mammary gland primordia. Before birth, only one pair in the chest will develop into a breast, while the other mammary gland primordia will regress. If the degeneration is not complete, accessory breasts will form. So, what is the reason for having accessory breasts during pregnancy?
After pregnancy, women's physiology undergoes significant changes, and the secretion of progesterone increases significantly, which can lead to the proliferation of breast tissue. After breast tissue hyperplasia, breast lobules may also proliferate, which can lead to a raised area under the armpit, resulting in the occurrence of accessory breasts. This type of breast milk usually has no sensation, but during milk secretion, pregnant women may experience bloating and pain, and may also form lumps.
This situation must be given sufficient attention and not delayed due to negligence. If the symptoms of pregnant women are not very severe, there is no need to worry too much or undergo special treatment, as long as they take good care of themselves in daily life. However, if the condition of accessory milk is severe, it needs to be given sufficient attention and actively treated.
In addition to treating breast milk, it is also important to pay attention to daily care by massaging and applying hot compress to the affected area to promote the degeneration of breast milk. For pregnant women with particularly serious symptoms, surgery can also be performed after delivery to avoid the occurrence of breast cancer.
