Patient's question:
I have a child with my wife, so I am currently working odd jobs alone in a foreign place. My wife takes care of the child at home. Last night, my wife called me and told me that her nipple is inverted. She had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and I am very worried about my wife. Hello, is surgery necessary for nipple inversion?Doctor's answer:
If your wife experiences retracted nipples again after giving birth, it is necessary to visit the hospital promptly for a follow-up consultation with a surgeon specializing in chest conditions. She should undergo a detailed breast ultrasound examination to check for any potential causes, such as breast cancer.Since nipple retraction is most commonly observed before pregnancy, it is important to regularly use hands to gently pull the nipples outward to encourage them to protrude.
