Patient's question:
I am 26 years old, female. I recently noticed that my nipples seem to be slightly retracted while taking a bath. My friend said it might be nipple inversion. How can inverted nipples be corrected?Doctor's answer:
Nipple inversion can be treated by applying cold compresses with a towel to the nipples before changing diapers each time, and then manually pulling out the inverted nipples for the baby to suck. Additionally, mugwort steam therapy can be used, and professional massage therapists can provide manual manipulation. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, persist in treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
