Patient's question:
I have very prominent nipples, but recently, something unexpected happened again. My left nipple has completely collapsed outward. Before, my nipples were so big and exposed, but now they're all pushed in, and I'm still not used to it. How come they can't come out? What's causing my left nipple to invert?Doctor's answer:
Most nipple retraction on the left side is caused by various factors such as trauma, breast diseases, and endocrine disorders. Unilateral nipple retraction should be highly of the possibility of breast cancer. It is important to seek follow-up care at a regular public hospital's breast surgery department promptly. Specialists should conduct additional thorough examinations based on the actual condition to confirm the diagnosis, identify the underlying causes, and provide targeted treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
