What to do if accessory breasts enlarge after pregnancy

After many women become pregnant, their breasts will become larger due to the increase of progesterone and estrogen in their bodies. Therefore, most women say that their breasts become larger due to pregnancy, and then after giving birth, they need to breastfeed their children, and their breasts will become smaller after breastfeeding ends. Some girls start to undergo breast augmentation surgery at this time, so what should they do if their accessory breasts become larger after pregnancy?

Today, I can explain it in detail:

1. What is accessory breast

Simply put, accessory breasts are extra breasts. Under normal circumstances, humans only have one pair of breasts, but for some people, the accessory breasts do not completely degenerate and disappear during the growth and development process, so they will have extra breasts or nipples in the armpits or on the chest. Accessory breasts have mammary glands just like normal breasts. They can cause breast tenderness during menstruation or pregnancy. As the breasts continue to grow larger, they may even secrete milk. But accessory breasts are not exclusive to women, men also have them.

2. Will accessory breast cancer cause breast cancer?

Since accessory breasts also contain breast tissue, like normal breasts, they are also at risk of developing breast hyperplasia and even breast cancer. However, accessory breast will not induce breast cancer in normal breast. The relationship between accessory breast and breast is equivalent to the relationship between the left and right breasts. However, some people do not have accessory breasts before pregnancy, but they appear during pregnancy and continue to grow. They still exist after giving birth, which may be breast hyperplasia. A color ultrasound is needed and if there are nodules, surgical removal is required. Generally, it can be cured by taking some anti-proliferation drugs.

However, there is a saying among the people that "people with accessory breasts do not necessarily suffer from breast cancer, but people with breast cancer definitely have accessory breasts."

3. What are the dangers of accessory breast?

Under normal circumstances, if there are no symptoms, there is no need to panic if you have accessory breasts. Because it has no effect on the human body, there are no symptoms and no treatment is required. Basically no disease will occur. If you find that your accessory breast has become significantly larger, the swelling and pain have increased, or there is a lump that is suspected to be a tumor, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible and consider surgical removal.

In addition, if the accessory breast is too large and affects normal life, especially for many women, when they wear clothes, a circle of fat bulges out in the armpit area, which is really difficult to accept. You can consider surgical removal.
