Is the symptom of inverted nipples abnormal?

Patient's question:

Doctor, sometimes when I'm grooming, I notice that the nipples on my breasts are inverted, but I don't have any other symptoms like pain. I don't know if this is normal. Is nipple inversion a normal symptom?

Doctor's answer:

Nipple inversion refers to the phenomenon where a woman's nipple cannot protrude normally and instead becomes concave. It may be caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. Nipple inversion can easily lead to breast-related diseases, such as inflammation and breast conditions. If severe, it may result in skin and mucosal diseases, even blistering and erosion. Early detection and subsequent intervention and treatment can help restore normalcy.
