Patient's question:
It seems like it's been this way since middle school. I'd like to ask if this has a significant impact on health? I've asked a doctor at the hospital, and they said to wait until I'm 18 to have surgery. I'm worried it might cause mastitis, right?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: The general cause of nipple inversion is the sinking of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, underdeveloped smooth muscle of the nipple, shortening of milk ducts, and fibrosis and contracture of some tissues. It will not affect your health, but it may affect breastfeeding. When the time comes, if you breastfeed, the baby may not be able to get milk. Suggestions: You can manually pull the nipple out of the skin. Pinch the nipple with your thumb and index finger horizontally or vertically, and pull it outward continuously or intermittently for about 30 minutes. Alternate between both nipples. You can pull the nipples out before pregnancy to make breastfeeding easier in the future. If you do not plan to breastfeed, then it will not be a problem.
