Introduction
In general, enlarged areola may be caused by natural aging, lactation, mastopathy, endocrine disorders, mastitis, and other factors. It can be treated or relieved by maintaining a balanced diet, wearing appropriate undergarments, or using medications such as Rupixiao Capsules, Jiawei Xiaoyao Pills, or Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules as directed by a physician. It is recommended to seek timely medical attention, identify the underlying cause, and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance.
Generally, enlarged areola may be caused by natural aging, lactation, mastopathy, endocrine disorders, mastitis, and other factors.

It is recommended to seek timely medical attention, identify the underlying cause, and undergo symptomatic treatment under a doctor's guidance. Detailed explanations are as follows:
1. Natural Aging: With age, melanin accumulates in the skin, causing the areola to enlarge and darken. This may be accompanied by skin laxity and increased wrinkles. It is recommended to maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants to delay skin aging.
2. Lactation: During lactation, increased secretion of estrogen and progesterone stimulates breast development and melanin deposition, resulting in an enlarged and darker areola. No special treatment is usually required; wearing appropriate undergarments and avoiding excessive friction in the areola area can help alleviate discomfort.
3. Mastopathy: Dietary habits and psychological factors may lead to breast hyperplasia, increasing breast volume and affecting the areola area, causing it to enlarge. It may be accompanied by localized swelling of the areola and breast. Patients can take medications such as Rupixiao Capsules, Xiaoyao Pills, or Hongjin Xiaojie Tablets under a doctor's guidance.
4. Endocrine Disorders: Long-term熬夜 (staying up late), excessive mental stress, and other factors may cause endocrine disorders, thereby affecting the size of the areola. Symptoms may include menstrual irregularities, mood swings, and insomnia. Patients can take medications such as Modified Xiaoyao Pills, Qizhi Xiangfu Pills, or Wujibai Feng Pills as advised by a doctor.
5. Mastitis: May be related to autoimmune factors, bacterial infection, etc., causing local redness, swelling, heat, and pain. The areola area may appear enlarged due to inflammation, often accompanied by localized redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the breast. Patients can take medications such as Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules, Bromocriptine Mesylate Tablets, or Cefdinir Dispersible Tablets as directed by a physician.
In daily life, it is important to maintain good habits and a positive mindset, avoiding excessive熬夜 (staying up late) and mental stress.
