Patient's question:
I have inverted nipples. I've always had them since I was a child. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Nipple inversion can be divided into two types: congenital and acquired. It is also classified into mild and severe degrees based on the degree of depression, and there are differences in treatment. Mild cases can be treated with physical methods such as traction, while severe cases require surgical intervention. Depressed nipples can accumulate dirt or oil, causing itching, eczema, or inflammation. During breastfeeding, it can lead to difficulty in nipple sucking milk, resulting in nipple damage and secondary breast inflammation. If surgical treatment is needed, the surgery generally achieves good therapeutic results. Don't worry too much; when you go to the hospital, doctors will clearly explain the examination and treatment conditions.
