Patient's question:
Doctor, I just found out I'm pregnant, but inverted nipples have always been a source of distress for me. I only recently discovered that I've been pregnant for over a month. But when I looked at my breasts, I noticed that my nipples have protruded out. How will the child be able to breastfeed in the future? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Don't hurry with this. Many mothers in the early stages of pregnancy experience this issue. There are several ways to help stabilize it. For example, you can use one hand to support the breast while using the index, middle, and thumb of the other hand to gently pull it. Alternatively, there are specialized correction tools that can help by sucking the breast, which can also stabilize the inverted situation. No need to worry, as some pregnant mothers do not perform corrections, and the condition often improves on its own as hormone levels change.
