What are the causes of inverted nipples?

Patient's question:

These days, my breasts have been constantly feeling sore and sometimes tingling, but my period hasn't arrived yet. My nipples are slightly inverted. What could be the reason for nipple inversion?

Doctor's answer:

If the symptoms of breast tenderness and pain occur multiple times, and there is also a stinging sensation, it is generally necessary to consider whether it is caused by fibroadenoma or hyperplasia of the breast. It could also be due to mastitis. If nipple inversion occurs multiple times, it is generally necessary to rule out the possibility of contagiousness. It is recommended to first undergo a detailed breast ultrasound examination to confirm the diagnosis. If it is caused by fibrosis or fibroadenoma, oral medication can usually be used for treatment. If it is mastitis, it is necessary to use anti-infection measures.
