Patient's question:
My nipples are smaller than those of ordinary women. Usually, they are retracted inside like there are no nipples at all. If it's cold or if I touch or pull them, they become very erect. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said there was no major issue. They also took some X-rays, which showed only a slight on the left side. Is it really nothing serious? Will it affect me if I have children in the future?Doctor's answer:
Due to the impact of inverted nipples on breastfeeding, and the difficulty in cleaning the affected area, it is prone to accumulating dirt and secondary infections, leading to chronic inflammation and potentially causing cancer. Clinically, in addition to treating the underlying cause, surgical intervention is also possible. Congenital inverted nipples can be treated early through negative pressure suction to pull the nipples. If this method is ineffective, surgical correction can be performed. Currently, the Korean correction method is adopted, which leaves no scars, has minimal trauma, and a quick recovery. It does not affect normal work and daily activities after the procedure. The prices vary in different cities. It is recommended to visit a professional plastic surgery hospital for an initial examination before determining your treatment plan.
