Patient's question:
Post-natal nipple inversion, difficult to pull out. Last night using a breast pump was very painful and broke the skin. How to make the nipple protrude?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Nipple inversion is generally caused by heredity across generations or poor postnatal development. It can affect future breastfeeding, so it needs to be addressed promptly. In your case, you can use a breast pump, but since you have extracted blood, it is recommended not to focus on this method. You can gently pull it with your hands. A little bit every day. It will gradually protrude. You can also consider nipple traction surgery. Wishing you good health!
