How to treat painful nipple inversion appropriately?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello. I recently noticed that my nipple is inverted and painful. I can't even touch it, and this has been happening for the past few months. I didn't pay much attention when I just finished my final exams, but it has gotten worse over time. Then, the areola has been red all the time, and sometimes when I take a bath, I find pus oozing out.

Doctor's answer:

If there are symptoms of inverted nipples accompanied by pain, it is likely caused by risks such as breast hyperplasia. You should eat more light foods in daily life. If the pain persists, it is abnormal, which may indicate a recurrence of the condition. Observe any abnormal secretions, and you can also go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound to conduct a further examination. Subsequently, you can begin to treat it with conservative medication.
