Why does nipple inversion occur?

Patient's question:

I just turned eighteen this year. Suddenly one day, I realized that I actually have slightly inverted nipples. At first, I thought it was because my clothes were too tight, and the nipples were being pushed down. But even after switching to loose clothes, I still felt that the nipples were sinking. I'm so young, why is this happening?

Doctor's answer:

This symptom of nipple inversion is generally considered to be due to breast deformity and is unrelated to the clothes you wear. If the inversion is not severe, you can often manually pull the nipple to correct it. Some cases may stabilize after a period of manual traction. If the self-traction is not effective, it is important to consult a doctor in time. Correction can be achieved through methods such as negative pressure suction and surgery. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
