Patient's question:
I searched for a lot of information online, and it seems my symptoms are quite severe! Some people say that using a nipple corrector can help improve them. Is that really true? Because after the New Year, I'm going to have a baby! How should I treat nipple inversion the best?Doctor's answer:
The condition described is nipple inversion. It is suspected that inverted nipples can accumulate dirt or oil, leading to itching, eczema, or inflammation of the nipple, areola, and breast tissue. Severe inversion can make it difficult for infants to suck milk. It is recommended to frequently pull the nipples to strengthen the weak tissues and reduce the supporting force of the surrounding skin, achieving a certain "shaping" effect. Do this several times a day. Nipple correctors can be used to treat flat or inverted nipples. After early pregnancy, use a breast pump several times a day to draw out the nipples, utilizing negative pressure to make them protrude. For severe inversion, surgical correction while preserving the milk ducts can be considered.Wishing you a speedy recovery. The gynecological condition is very serious, and it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
