Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, female. Recently while taking a bath, I noticed that my nipples seem to be slightly protruding out. My friend said it might be inverted nipples. What should I do if a woman's nipples are inverted?Doctor's answer:
Upon discovering inverted nipples, the first step is to check if the nipples can be protruded through stimulation. If they can, use a negative pressure suction device to correct them, or pinch the base of the nipple with your fingers and pull it out several times to correct it. It's important to do this daily with patience, as the results are quite good. If the nipples cannot be protruded through stimulation, surgical correction may need to be considered.Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and increase physical exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
