Patient's question:
Since the beginning of breast development, my breasts have been uneven in size, and as I've gotten older, I've noticed that one breast has inverted nipples while the other is normal and soft but weak. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
You have again developed this nipple inversion, which is likely caused by congenital nipple hypoplasia. It may be related to a fewer number of estrogen receptors in the nipple or a lack of sensitivity to estrogen. Nipple inversion can affect the overall appearance of the breast and may also lead to breast inflammation. The main concern is its impact on future breastfeeding. In daily life, you can manually stretch the nipple to help correct it.
