Why do you get accessory breasts during pregnancy? The reason turned out to be this

Many people will have accessory breasts, which is definitely abnormal, especially some women will have accessory breasts after pregnancy. Accessory breasts are a degenerate organ in the human body. What is the reason for the appearance of this troublesome organ?

1. Accessory breast is a congenital developmental abnormality. When the fetus is still 9 mm long, on both sides of the ventral side of the fetus, from the armpits to the inguinal line, there is a gradual thickening of the local properties of about 7 pairs of nipple-shaped areas from the epithelial tissue of the ectoderm. Under relatively normal circumstances, except for a pair of breasts, the rest will generally degenerate and disappear before birth. If some of them do not degenerate, they will gradually transform into accessory mammary glands, resulting in multiple nipples or multiple breasts.

2. In fact, to a certain extent, accessory breast is an atrophic and degenerated organ of the human body. It has no obvious function. Usually, because the accessory breast contains some mammary gland tissue, it is sometimes very likely to cause some kind of inflammation. If there is glandular tissue underneath the nipple, it is called a complete accessory breast; if there is only a nipple but no breast substance, it is called an accessory nipple. Some of them do not actually have nipple protrusions, but only have localized depressions that are symmetrical on both sides or accumulation and deposition of skin pigments in small areas.

3. In principle, accessory breast is not a certain type of disease, and people without any symptoms generally do not need any treatment. Therefore, do not feel mentally burdened by this. It’s just that during the non-lactating period of women, the accessory breasts are generally still relatively small. They become a little bigger during pregnancy. Don’t feel too much psychological pressure.
