What causes one nipple to be inverted?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I don't know why, I have been feeling some pain in my breasts. Yesterday when I looked in the mirror, I noticed that one of my nipples was inverted, which made me a bit worried. However, I don't dare to tell your husband. I want to ask the doctor what could be causing one of my nipples to be inverted?

Doctor's answer:

Usually, in clinical diagnosis, if the issue of nipple retraction recurs, it is important to be aware of the possibility of malignant breast diseases, such as common breast cancer. Early symptoms of breast cancer are not always obvious, typically presenting as painless lumps. Some patients may experience changes in the skin of the breast surface or recurrent nipple retraction. In such cases, it is necessary to seek follow-up consultation with a breast surgeon as soon as possible.
