What causes dark nipples and areolas?

Many women usually pay attention to some small changes in their bodies. Girls who observe carefully may find that their nipples and areolas turn dark. At this time, they are quite confused. Why does this happen? Many people hope to get a better answer. So first of all, we must have a good understanding of nipples and areolas.

The areola is the ring-shaped area of ​​darker pigmentation around the nipple. The diameter of the areola is about 3 to 6 cm, and its color varies. It is rose red during puberty, and the pigmentation deepens to dark brown during pregnancy and lactation. It always gets darker after pregnancy and never fades. However, the color of the areola varies from person to person, and one cannot simply judge a woman's sexual experience or whether she has given birth based on the color of her areola.

The areola is the ring-shaped area of ​​darker pigmentation around the nipple. The skin of the areola has hair and glands. The glands include sweat glands, sebaceous glands and mammary glands. Its sebaceous glands, also known as areola glands, are some obvious small protrusions on the areola. They are large and superficial and are used to secrete oil and protect the delicate nipples and areola. The secretions protect the skin and lubricate the nipples and baby's lips.

The size and color of the areola vary greatly among different female individuals. Generally speaking, women's nipples and breasts develop differently, and the color of nipples also varies a lot. The main reasons for the darkening of the areola are cell aging and the secretion of female hormones, which lead to the precipitation of melanin in the epidermal tissue of the nipple. As long as the woman reaches sexual maturity, the nipples will naturally appear dark. If a woman has had sexual experience, her nipples will also have such changes, which will not only make the nipples darker, but also the sexual organs will gradually turn dark. Therefore, darkening of breasts is a symbol of the maturity of a woman's body. For women who have good sexual experiences, their breasts will grow fuller and their figures will become more slender and charming.

So when you encounter this situation, you should first know some relevant knowledge. If you find that the situation is serious, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to see what is going on and then receive further treatment. Don’t think that this is a trivial matter. It is very likely to have a certain impact on your body.
