Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have a condition called inverted nipples and they are itchy, so I would like to consult. How should I deal with inverted nipples and nipple itching?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the concavity is caused by underdeveloped nipples. Over time, it can easily accumulate dirt and cause infection, leading to symptoms such as itching. It is best to visit a hospital's breast surgery department for examination to identify the cause. After that, a manual or electric breast pump can be used to extract the nipple by utilizing the principle of negative pressure. The nipple can be continuously or intermittently pulled for 30 minutes each time, alternating between both sides, 3-5 times daily. If conservative treatment is not effective, surgical correction of the nipple may be necessary. For severe gynecological patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition. The above advice is for reference only. It is hoped that the answer above can help you. Thank you.
