If a woman changes color here, she will get seriously ill

Most female friends are very concerned about the color of their areola. In fact, it is a good practice to pay attention to changes in the color of the areola, because changes in the areola may indicate some problems.

Physiological changes of areola:

1. When a woman is pregnant, starting from the early stages of pregnancy, her nipples and areolas will change. Their color will become darker, or change from light red to dark brown. This is due to the increase in estrogen and progesterone in the body after pregnancy, and is a normal physiological condition.

2. For some female friends between the ages of 30 and 45, even if they are not pregnant, the color of their nipples and areolas will gradually darken from pink brown to dark brown, but no lesions will be found through breast examination. The change in areola color in this case is a reminder that women have a "transient" increase in estrogen. Perhaps after a period of time, the estrogen level will return to normal after the body adjusts, and the color of the nipples and areola will also return to normal. This is also a normal physiological condition.

Pathological areola changes:

Beware of changes in areola color

1. When the color of the nipple and areola becomes darker and is accompanied by surrounding itching, a breast examination may reveal hyperplasia or cystic hyperplasia in one or both breasts. In this case, the color change of the areola indicates that the estrogen level in the body is relatively high, so the breast lesions occur, which is a normal pattern of disease.

2. The color of the nipple and areola simply darkens from dark brown to dark brown, and there are small nodules around the areola, and no problems are found during breast examination. In this case, you should consider whether you have a more serious liver disease. When liver function decreases, estrogen cannot be broken down normally in the liver, causing the nipples and areola to darken in color.

3. Under the influence of certain benign tumors, the amount of estrogen secreted by the female ovaries increases, which can also cause changes in the color of the nipples and areola. In addition, if many small nodules appear around the areola, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause as soon as possible.

During breast examination, special attention should be paid to changes in the color of the nipples and areolas, to find out the reasons for the changes in the color of the nipples and areolas, whether they are physiological changes or pathological changes, and to make appropriate treatments.

Do not ignore changes in areola color, as these changes may indicate a potential disease risk.
