Patient's question:
I am 25 years old, female. Recently, while taking a bath, I noticed that my nipples seem to be slightly protruding outwards. My friend said it might be inverted nipples. How can inverted nipples be corrected?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text:"Regarding the correction of inverted nipples, you can the nipple with your hand every day and gradually pull it outward. This will make the nipple weaker, allowing the milk ducts and smooth muscles to move outward. However, don’t hurry—be patient and proceed step by step. Alternatively, you can use a negative pressure suction method to weaken the nipple. Surgical treatment is also available, such as nipple inversion correction surgery. This is the only surgical method that preserves the ability to breastfeed. Patients should develop a regular lifestyle, persist in treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness."
Note: The original Chinese text contains "" (niēzhù), which translates to "hold firmly" or "pinch." If you'd like a more precise medical term, you can replace it with "grip" or "firmly hold." Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!
