Patient's question:
I have always loved to pinch my left nipple since I was a child. Now, my left nipple is larger than the right one, but there is no noticeable change in my breast. Recently, I came across the term "gynecomastia," and I'm a bit confused. Is my left nipple enlarged due to pinching, or do I have this condition? Can I feel breast development in my breast, and can I feel breast tissue inside the nipple?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello: Your condition may be gynecomastia, which is more common in adolescents and the elderly. Suggestions: Generally, no special treatment is required, as it can resolve on its own. It is recommended to wait and see, reduce touching, and if it grows rapidly, surgical removal may be necessary. The occurrence of inverted nipples not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
