Various unique facts about nipples
1. There are people who have three three nipples
It's not uncommon for a man or woman to be born with three nipples, or even more. Although classified as jranga, this condition is possible. These extra nipples resemble moles or birthmarks and generally never develop into actual breasts. These extra nipples can appear anywhere on your body, even on your hands or feet.
2. The nipple can go in
Some people have nipples that appear inward, not protruding. According to Z. Paul Lorenc, MD, a plastic surgeon, says that about 15 percent of women have an inverted nipple because they are 'congenital'.
This condition occurs because of a problem in the connection of the tissue under the nipple, ligaments, and skin. In most cases, the nipple is not dangerous and can be surgically treated.
Even so, you should be vigilant if you previously had protruding nipples, but then slowly turned inward. The reason is this could be a sign of a certain medical condition.
3. Aerola can grow fine hair
The growth of fine hair around the nipple in the aerola is normal. This can happen due to hormonal influences and genetic factors. Especially in men, this fine hair growth will appear more pronounced than women. However, if your growth of fine hair around the nipples has occurred recently and is accompanied by other complaints such as menstrual disorders, immediately check with the nearest doctor.
4. The nipple is a sensitive zone for stimulation
The nipple is the most sensitive area to touch. The dark area around the nipple, known as areloa, consists of quite sensitive nerves. According to researchers from Rutgers University, when the nipples are sexually stimulated, activity in a part called the sensory cortex increases. This sensory cortex reaction appears to be exactly the same as the reaction when the vagina, clitoris, and cervix are aroused.
That is why, if you provide stimulation around the nipples, it can bring sexual satisfaction. Usually the nipples will enlarge and harden when exposed to stimulation.
5. The color of the nipples can change
In addition to different sizes and shapes of breasts, nipple color can also be different for each person. This color change is generally caused due to hormonal changes when a woman is pregnant or breastfeeding. Not only that, but the nipples can turn darker as a person ages.
6. Fluid may come out of the nipple even if you are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Your body will produce milk naturally during pregnancy. However, there are some women whose milk comes out of the nipples even though she is not pregnant or breastfeeding. In medical terms this is called galactorrhea, which can occur in one or both breasts.
Generally, this condition is caused because the breasts get stimulation such as when breastfeeding, for example when squeezing the breasts, sexual arousal, or being exposed to friction on clothes. Not only that, some drugs, such as birth control pills, H2 blockers, and psychotropic drugs, can also trigger galactorrhea.
Even though it is relatively common, you still have to be vigilant if this condition occurs continuously and the fluid that comes out of the nipple contains blood or pus, and has a sticky texture. The reason is, this could be a sign of a serious medical condition. That is why, immediately check with a doctor in order to get the right treatment according to your needs.
