What can cause an increase in montgomery glands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy: The montgomery glands are small sebaceous glands in and around the nipple (the areola) that secrete oily material that appears to lubricate and protect the areola. They may also be helpful to orient a baby to the nipple.
