Patient's question:
Nipple inversion in the postpartum woman, the child cannot feed the child's mother has nipple inversion, the child can't breastfeedDoctor's answer:
Guidance: Hello! If a nipple inversion (nipple retraction) is discovered, it is best for women to seek timely correction. Depending on the specific situation, the following methods can be used.1. Manual traction. Puberty is a critical period for breast development and also an important time for correcting nipple inversion. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts more prominent and increase the support of the surrounding skin, serving a "shaping" effect. Do this several times a day. Over time, the nipples will naturally gradually protrude outward. If it doesn’t work, you can first gently push the skin near the nipple outward.
2. Suction therapy. After pregnancy, use a breast pump to suction the nipples several times a day, leveraging its negative pressure to promote nipple protrusion.
3. Nipple correctors are used to treat flat or inverted nipples.
