Patient's question:
The nipple has never been squeezed out by the parents since it was a baby, and it has grown like this. Now, when you blink, only one can come out, but it goes back in shortly. The other one cannot be squeezed out. What effective methods can be used to solve this problem?Doctor's answer:
Nipple inversion refers to a condition where the nipple does not protrude prominently from the breast skin, and it does not rise when pulled. First, you can manually pull the inverted nipple out of the breast and hold it in place for a period of time. If this method is not effective, you can try the syringe suction method.Prepare a 10-mL plastic syringe, remove the outer casing from the front end of the syringe; withdraw the needle core, turn the syringe over, and align the open end of the outer casing with the inverted nipple. Then, insert the needle core through the cut end of the syringe, gently suction, and use the negative pressure of the syringe to pull the inverted nipple out. Hold it in place for 5-6 minutes. Repeat this 1-2 times daily.
