Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My daughter is 14 years old and in her puberty. I recently noticed that her nipples are inverted. I don't know what to do about inverted nipples during puberty. Is this normal? Should I take my daughter for a physical examination?Doctor's answer:
Nipple inversion during adolescence is primarily caused by underdeveloped nipples. If the condition does not improve, it may affect breastfeeding in the future. In cases where nipple inversion is not caused by breast diseases, manual traction can be used. Daily manual traction on the nipples can help shorten them. If the effect is not satisfactory, surgical treatment may also be an option. A positive mood is very helpful for recovery.
