Patient's question:
When I was giving birth, I had severe nipple inversion, so the child couldn't breastfeed. At that time, my nipples were severely cracked and extremely painful, and gradually, the milk became less. Now I still want another child. I wonder if there is a way to correct the nipples!Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Due to nipple inversion, the nipple often needs to be forcibly pulled out during breastfeeding. At this time, the nipple is very delicate, and any collision can easily cause damage, rupture, and bleeding. This can lead to infection of the nipple and even the entire breast, ultimately resulting in mastitis.Advice: Regularly pulling the nipple 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 nipple will naturally gradually protrude outward. If it cannot be pulled out, you can first gently push the skin near the nipple outward.
