What color is normal for nipples?

The nipple, also called the teat, is the raised cylindrical part in the center of the breast of mammals, which is harder than the nipple and breast. Human female nipples are an important erogenous zone and have a breastfeeding function. The nipple is composed of an inseparable complex of smooth muscle and connective tissue. The smooth muscles are arranged in a circular or radial shape. When sexual excitement or mechanical stimulation is encountered, the smooth muscles contract, causing the nipples to harden and protrude. So, what color is normal for nipples?

During puberty, normal nipples are light pink. During pregnancy, due to changes in estrogen and oestrogen levels, melanin deposition can occur, causing the nipples and nipples to turn black, and may be accompanied by facial pigmentation. During breastfeeding, as female hormones gradually decrease to normal, the color of the nipples and nipples may gradually improve, but generally cannot be restored to light pink. In general, nipple tone depends on the changes in female hormones in the body. If the nipple color suddenly changes, endocrine disease should be considered. You should go to the breast surgery or endocrinology department of a regular hospital in time, take six sex hormone tests or pituitary MRI to determine the characteristics of the disease, and cooperate closely with professional doctors in treatment to avoid serious clinical adverse effects. Do not blindly believe in folk secret recipes and take medicines.

Before puberty, girls' nipples will protrude independently. From then on, the nipple and breast will protrude into a small hillock. As the breasts further enlarge, the nipples and nipples become raised and enlarged within the breast contour. When nipples reach the development stage, most people's nipples protrude. The nipples of single women and women without children are relatively small. Only after pregnancy, when the breasts and nipples are affected by the estrogen and oestrogen in the pregnant woman's body, the mammary gland heat bubbles and milk ducts multiply, do the nipples gradually expand and become more protruding, preparing for childbearing. A normal nipple is a small cylindrical fleshy spot with a hole, 1 cm in diameter, about 1.5-2 cm in height, and dark brown.

The nipple color of adolescent girls is relatively light, but when they reach sexual maturity, women's nipples will show some dark color, but it varies from person to person and is also related to the woman's skin color. Generally speaking, women's nipples and breasts grow and develop differently, and the color of nipples also varies a lot. It is rose-red during puberty, and becomes dark red during pregnancy and lactation. It keeps getting heavier during pregnancy and never fades. However, the color of nipples varies from person to person, and it is not possible to simply judge how much sexual experience a woman has had or whether she has given birth based on the color of her nipples. The fundamental reason for the darkening of the areola is the aging of body cells and the secretion of female hormones, which causes the deposition of melanin in the nipple epidermis. Once sexual maturity is reached, the nipple will naturally show a dark areola color. Generally, the nipples of people with white skin are light dark brown, while the nipples of people with yellow or darker skin are darker.
