Patient's question:
Recently discovered, the left nipple is always retracted inside. It can be pushed out with light pressure, and sometimes it's outside as well. The other side is always outside. I think I remember the left one was always retracted, but I didn't pay much attention. I wonder if it's because it's been hot these last two days. When the nipple is pushed out, there's a layer of white substance on it, like mud, a bit sticky, but after wiping it clean, no liquid or anything comes out from the nipple. Once, that white substance had a slightly foul odor. I want to know if this is a congenital nipple retraction, and does the white substance have anything to do with the retraction? After reading about breast cancer, I'm very scared. I urgently need an answer from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question. After reading your situation, it's indeed a congenital process that your nipples are inverted, and many girls have this condition. Don't worry; it will improve after marriage and pregnancy. The white substance is actually nipple secretion mixed with your body's own secretions, such as sweat, which accumulate due to the inverted nipples. Don't worry; when you shower, just be mindful of cleaning them thoroughly, and it will be fine.
