Patient's question:
My nipples have always been inverted since I was a child. The left one is completely retracted, while the right one is only slightly indented. So I've always felt very self-conscious. I've been to the hospital, but the doctor said the treatment would be quite expensive. I didn't want to add pressure to my parents, as our family isn't very well-off, so I didn't pursue it. But now that I'm older, I really want to get it fixed. How can inverted nipples be treated?Doctor's answer:
Nipple inversion is generally caused by two reasons: one is congenital nipple development disorder, and the other is related breast diseases that damage the milk ducts, leading to nipple retraction and inversion. Among these, congenital nipple development disorder is the most common. You can use the method of manually pulling the nipple to make it swing and shorten. If the symptoms are severe, surgical correction can also be used.
