Patient's question:
I only recently learned about my inverted nipples in the past two years. I hadn't noticed this issue before, but I didn't feel any pain or discomfort, and it didn't significantly affect my daily life. Now that I'm pregnant, I want to get treatment, mainly because I'm worried about not being able to breastfeed after the baby is born. I'd like to consult about whether inverted nipples can be treated, and what methods are available?Doctor's answer:
The treatment methods for inverted nipples can only work under normal conditions. However, it cannot be guaranteed that it can heal on its own through surgery. If only medication is used, it should not heal on its own. When inverted nipples are detected, gently pull the inverted nipples outward with your fingers every morning and evening. Gently massage the nipples with your thumb or index finger, and pull for 5-10 minutes each time. After two months, the above two correction methods can achieve better results.
