White particles in nipples during pregnancy

After a woman becomes pregnant, her breasts may swell due to changes in her physique and endocrine system. The nipples become darker. Small lumps may appear on the nipples. In the second half of pregnancy, the nipples may metabolize milky white deposits and produce milky white particles. Pregnant mothers will worry about the origin of these newborn particles, so what is the matter with the milky white particles on the nipples of pregnant women?

What is the reason for milky white particles on the nipples of pregnant women?

Because a small number of mothers will secrete a small amount of milk in the middle or late stages of pregnancy. If the pregnant woman's milk is not fully discharged and the milk in the breast is not discharged in time, the milk will accumulate and produce white particles.

And if the pregnant woman's milk ducts are blocked, the milk ducts themselves are inflamed, tumors and external compression, or the chemical fibers from the bra fall off block the milk ducts, causing the milk ducts to be blocked and milk accumulation to produce white particles.

What should I do if there are milky white particles on the nipples of pregnant women?

After a woman becomes pregnant, she will develop Montessori nodes due to rapid changes. This is caused by endocrine changes. At this time, the area around the nipple will expand and feel swollen due to the effect of pregnant women's hormones. The color of the areola will become darker, and small nodules about the size of soybeans or mung beans will develop on the nipple. These are all normal physiological changes during pregnancy. Even a small number of people will secrete a small amount of milk in the middle or late stages of pregnancy, which is also normal.

It is recommended to clean the nipples frequently, but not too irritatingly, and use edible oil, such as vegetable oil, salad oil, soybean oil, or mineral oil, such as paraffin oil, to apply the nipples to loosen the scale and scab on the surface of the nipples, and then wash with soap and water.

Many women who are pregnant for the first time have no experience and are quite worried about the appearance of white particles on the nipples of pregnant women. I don't know what happened. I think I have some serious illness and I'm very anxious. In fact, this is a normal physiological change during pregnancy. As long as pregnant mothers read more books or watch related videos, they will understand it and don't need to be so anxious.
