Patient's question:
Long-term, now that the child has children, they can't breastfeed and it's drawing blood. All the breast pumps have been used, and even the husband tried, but it just won't work.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis:1. Surgical Treatment: If breast development is complete and the nipple inversion does not improve with repeated traction or negative pressure suction therapy, nipple inversion correction surgery can be performed.
Recommendations:
2. Other Special Treatments are primarily used for the treatment of primary pseudonipple inversion. If ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered.
(1) Manual Traction: Puberty is a critical period for breast development and an important time for correcting nipple inversion. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts more prominent, increase the supporting strength of the surrounding skin, and achieve a "shaping" effect. Do this several times a day. Over time, the nipples will naturally gradually protrude outward. If it's difficult to pull them out, you can first gently push the skin near the nipple outward.
(2) Negative Pressure Suction: Use a breast pump to apply negative pressure to the nipples, or place an empty 5–10ml syringe barrel over the areola. Connect a rubber tube from the nipple end of the syringe to another syringe and pull the plunger of the latter to create negative pressure, which helps the nipples protrude outward.
