Patient's question:
Nipple inversion, it's been like this since birthDoctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Based on your description, your condition falls under the category of nipple retraction. In terms of its pathogenesis, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes it is primarily related to the liver, spleen, and stomach. The nipple belongs to the Foot Jueyin Liver Meridian, while the breast is governed by the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian. The normal development of the breast relies on the proper regulation and unobstructed flow of liver qi, as well as the nourishment and transformation provided by the spleen and stomach. Sufficient qi and blood ensure a full and healthy breast, while a harmonious qi mechanism allows for proper lactation. If the nipple does not protrude, it is usually due to unregulated liver qi leading to stagnation and insufficient spleen qi causing sinking.Recommendation: It is advised that you visit a gynecological department in the hospital for examination. Treatment should be carried out based on the doctor's diagnosis.
