Should severe nipple inversion require surgery?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my daughter is also 26 years old this year. However, my daughter's nipples are very small, and they are severely retracted. They are different from normal people, and they are concave. I would like to ask the doctor, since my daughter has severe nipple retraction, does she need surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, if the nipple is inverted, surgery is not necessary. If your daughter is currently 26 years old, it is recommended that you frequently apply warm towels to her nipples and gently pull them outward many times. This usually helps, and with persistence, it should improve. If there is no improvement after a period of time, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. If necessary, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a positive mood. Only with a good mindset and adequate sleep can you help your daughter recover quickly and be free from illness.
