Patient's question:
I am already about two months pregnant, but my inverted nipples are still very severe. I don't know if it will affect the baby's ability to breastfeed in the future. I used to think that inverted nipples would improve on their own after pregnancy, but I didn't expect them to still be the same now. Hello, does inverted nipples affect it?Doctor's answer:
Hello, inverted nipples are relatively common. One cause is developmental issues during puberty, while the other is due to breast diseases. For this condition, timely correction is necessary. It can affect aesthetics, and during breastfeeding, it may hinder the baby from feeding properly. You can use a breast pump to draw out the nipple and persist in gentle pulling and massage. If there is no improvement, you may need to consider nipple correction surgery.
