Patient's question:
My nipples are always inverted, even when I'm wearing AA. My husband has told me many times,Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The degree of nipple inversion varies from person to person. Mild cases only manifest as varying degrees of nipple retraction, where the nipple can be pushed out by hand or protrude from the surface with negative pressure suction. Severe cases are fully submerged in the skin surface, unable to be pushed out, and often grow in the opposite direction. Of course, even if these inverted nipples are pushed out, they are generally small. There is often no distinct nipple neck. The incidence of inverted nipples in women is 1-2%. The degree of inversion on both nipples may be inconsistent, and it can occur in only one nipple. It is a common female condition. Deeply inverted nipples within the areola not only look unattractive but can also accumulate dirt or oil due to the depression, causing itching, eczema, or inflammation. Severe inversion makes it difficult for infants to suck milk, causing inconvenience in daily life and psychological distress to the patient.Recommendations:
1. Manual traction. Puberty is a crucial period for breast development and an important time to correct nipple inversion. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts protrude more, increase the support force of the surrounding skin, and help "shape" them. Do this several times a day. Over time, the nipples will naturally gradually protrude outward. If they cannot be pulled out, 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, utilizing its negative pressure to promote nipple protrusion.
3. Using a nipple corrector is a treatment for flat or inverted nipples.
