What are the causes of nipple inversion?

Patient's question:

When I was a teenager, I didn't have this symptom, but after breastfeeding, it appeared. It's on the left side, and I didn't notice it during breastfeeding. I breastfed for six months and then stopped. But not long after, I discovered it. The right side is normal. The left side can come out with a gentle pull. Is this a disease?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, basically it's mostly congenital, so attention should be paid to hygiene and nipple cleanliness. The occurrence of inverted nipples not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to go to the gynecology department of the hospital for a vaginal examination, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Also, pay more attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
