Patient's question:
After getting pregnant, I found that my nipples were inverted. What should I do about inverted nipples during pregnancy? Can they return to their original state?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the situation you mentioned is the recurrence of inverted nipples after pregnancy. As you described, this condition is likely due to the nipple being affected by the reduction of breast size, leading to nipple inversion. For this situation, it is recommended to frequently use your fingers to pull the nipple outward to strengthen the weak area of the nipple. Alternatively, you can use a breast pump to gently express the nipple. If the condition is severe, surgical treatment may need to be considered.
