Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 18 years old. Recently, I have noticed that my nipples are inverted, which makes me feel very upset. I don't know what's going on, and I feel too embarrassed to tell my mom, so I wanted to reach out to you. How can inverted nipples be corrected? I hope you can help me understand.Doctor's answer:
If you are only 18 years old now and have inverted nipples, you can gently touch your nipples from time to time to see if they can become less sensitive due to external environmental stimulation. If they can protrude, there is no problem. If they still cannot protrude even under external environmental stimulation, it means you have inverted nipples. This can generally be corrected through methods such as pulling or sucking.
