Patient's question:
My daughter is 16 years old and has inverted nipples. We have tried many methods, but her nipples still cannot protrude. It feels different from other children's, so I've been quite worried. I'm sad that she might not be able to breastfeed in the future. I'd like to consult about how to deal with inverted nipples.Doctor's answer:
Nipple inversion may enhance the possibility of inflammation and may also affect later breastfeeding, requiring timely correction. Normally, you can consider pulling the nipples more. Additionally, attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the breasts, and they should be frequently washed. If it cannot be corrected continuously, it is advisable to see a doctor in a timely manner for examination and treatment. This condition is often believed to be a malformation of nipple inversion, and surgical correction and treatment can be considered.
