What are the bumps on the nipples?

Many people actually have small bumps on their nipples, but because the symptoms of the bumps are not very obvious, they are easily overlooked. The bumps of flesh on the nipples are actually related to many reasons, so the specific cause cannot be judged by a certain symptom alone. It still requires a clear examination to be determined. So what are the bumps of flesh on the nipples?

1. If there are fleshy bumps on the nipples, you need to see whether they are around the areola. The small particles around the areola are the enlarged and raised sebaceous glands in the areola. They look like small bumps and are caused by normal oil secretion. This is normal and there are no abnormal symptoms. No treatment is required. Eat a light diet, eat less high-fat and greasy food, and avoid spicy and irritating food. Continue to observe for 3 to 6 months. If there are no abnormal symptoms, it is considered a normal physiological phenomenon. Pay attention to breast hygiene and wear cotton underwear.

2. Most women have some small bumps on their breasts, which is a normal phenomenon. These bumps are medically called Montessori nodes. Montessori nodes usually appear in women after pregnancy. This is because the breasts will enlarge during pregnancy, and the secretion of estrogen will increase and stimulate the development of the mammary ducts, which is also in preparation for lactation. It is a normal physiological phenomenon, so there is no need for treatment or worry. Just keep it clean, wear cotton underwear and a suitable bra.

3. If there are small bumps on the areola, they are caused by normal oil secretion. Because there are glands and hair on the skin of the areola. The glands include sebaceous glands, sweat glands and mammary glands. The sebaceous glands are also called areola glands, which are the obvious small protrusions on the areola. It secretes oil to protect the delicate areola and nipple. In addition, the secretions of sebaceous glands can protect women's skin and lubricate nipples and babies' lips.
