What to do if accessory breast is swollen

Breasts are sexual organs that grow after women enter puberty due to the abundant secretion of female hormones in their bodies. At that time, young girls had to learn how to use bras properly to protect their breasts. However, if the method was not correct, it would not only cause sagging breasts, but also may cause accessory breasts. Accessory breasts are a phenomenon that occurs under women’s armpits. Today, let’s learn about the dangers of accessory breasts.

What are the dangers of accessory breast

Accessory breasts are in a relatively static state before puberty. As the secondary sexual characteristics develop, the accessory breasts gradually increase in size. Under the influence of endocrine hormones, the accessory breasts will become locally enlarged, swollen and painful during menstruation, pregnancy and lactation. Women with complete accessory breasts can secrete milk during lactation.

If the mother does not pay attention to the care of the accessory breasts after childbirth, it will not only affect the external appearance and image, but also induce some diseases. Restoring the body shape as soon as possible can effectively eliminate the harm of the accessory breasts to the mother and allow her to work more confidently.

The mother may not feel any pain at the beginning of accessory breast development, but if no attention is paid, periodic accessory breast pain will occur over time. In severe cases, there will be continuous pain before and after menstruation. Sometimes the pain in the accessory breast radiates to the armpits, shoulders, back, upper limbs, etc., often affecting sleep, work and study, making women anxious and emotional. If left untreated, the serious part of the accessory breast disease will further deteriorate and may develop into accessory breast cysts, accessory breast hyperplasia, or even accessory breast cancer.

How to remove accessory breast

Many mothers who love beauty hope to restore their figure as soon as possible, and the appearance of accessory breasts makes them feel very troubled. Mothers can usually do the following to help eliminate accessory breasts:

1. Sports massage

You can do exercises to expand your chest and slim your arms, and use the contraction of the pectoralis major and arm muscles to improve the condition of your accessory breasts. You can massage your accessory breasts every morning and evening, with your hands hanging naturally, and you can see the concave and convex parts between the armpits and the chest. Concave part: Use the middle finger and thumb to pinch gently repeatedly with appropriate force, 30 times on each side. Protruding part: Make a fist with your hand and use the strength of your knuckles to push the protruding accessory breast from the outside to the inside, 30 times on each side. (Note: The right breast is moved with the left hand, and the left breast is moved with the right hand)

2. Mechanical repetitive massage

The West uses a mechanical suction and release massage device that uses negative pressure to suck the breast into the cup, converts it into positive pressure and then pushes the breast out. The accessory breast is shaped in the breast cup. The breast will gradually become round after repeated suction and release into the cup. Fatty accessory breasts will have a shaping effect after repeated mechanical massage for one month. If there is accessory breast with nipples, a doctor's diagnosis and surgical treatment are necessary.

3. Liposuction

If the protruding tissue of the accessory breast is too large, or often rubs against the skin, causing recurrent eczema or inconvenience in life, you may consider removing it.

There are two ways to remove accessory breasts. If the accessory breasts are caused by improper dressing or simple fat accumulation, liposuction can be used to remove them, and the wound is about 0.5 cm. If there is breast tissue inside the accessory breast, the breast of the accessory breast needs to be removed. In this case, excision surgery is chosen. The knife is cut along the crease line of the armpit, and a 2~3 cm incision is made. The wound will be hidden in the armpit.

4. Surgical treatment

1. It is usually performed under continuous epidural anesthesia or intravenous anesthesia, and only a few are performed under local anesthesia. Local anesthesia is not conducive to electrosurgical free flap, nor is it conducive to distinguishing fat and accessory breast tissue.

2. The choice of incision will take into account aesthetics and concealment.

3. The accessory breast has no capsule. During surgery, the skin flap should be freed to the edge of the mass and the resection range should be sufficient to ensure the effectiveness of the surgical treatment.

4. For the treatment of accessory breast cancer, the surgical excision range should be at least 5 cm away from the edge of the tumor, and the muscle tissue should be removed at the same time, and the ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes should be cleared. Other treatments are the same as breast cancer.

5. Placing a rubber drainage tube and negative pressure absorption on the wound surface is conducive to the growth of the flap. After 72 hours, the drainage tube can be removed based on the drainage volume. If the tube is removed prematurely, subcutaneous fluid and blood accumulation will occur.

These are not to be applied rigidly, because the doctors who perform accessory breast surgery are experts with rich clinical experience. They have their own set of steps for performing accessory breast surgery, and they are constantly improving to help patients solve problems with the best methods. Therefore, the actual accessory breast surgery process needs to be considered in combination with the specific doctor and hospital.
