Patient's question:
Previously, the breast shape was normal. In the past two months, I have frequently experienced breast tenderness and pain. While taking a bath and looking in the mirror, I noticed that one of my nipples was inverted. Additionally, there is a slight protrusion near the breast, which feels like a lump. My husband said it resembles the symptoms of fibrocystic breast changes. Does fibrocystic breast changes cause nipple inversion?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is a common disease that undergoes changes with the menstrual cycle. The main symptoms of breast hyperplasia are tenderness, sharp pain, and lumps. Currently, breast hyperplasia does not require medication; it can be managed through regular and careful observation. However, breast hyperplasia will never cause inverted nipples. If inverted nipples occur, it should be given high attention, and one should consider visiting a hospital for relevant examinations and further treatment.
