Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, unmarried, will it affect breastfeeding in the future? Will it affect the breasts? Never seen a doctor before, how to treat it? Can it be sucked out with the mouth?Doctor's answer:
Hello, because of the asymmetrical growth and development of the nipple and breast tissue, it can lead to nipple inversion. Generally, it will not interfere with breastfeeding. Around the seventh month of pregnancy, you can apply a warm towel to the breasts and gently pull the nipples to improve the condition. It is also recommended that the baby suckles it out by themselves, but usually, it is quite difficult for the baby to suck it out. At that time, you can ask your husband to help suck it out. Always maintain hygiene in the area, and it will gradually improve.
