Patient's question:
My nipples are naturally inverted and almost invisible. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. Which department should I make an appointment with? What methods can I use at home for treatment?Doctor's answer:
Go to the hospital to see a gynecologist. When mild nipple inversion is discovered, it is important to maintain local hygiene and clean frequently with warm water and neutral soap. At the same time, daily massage of the nipple and areola should be performed, especially regular upward traction on the nipple to make it protrude. When performing the procedure, it is best to apply some liquid or cooking oil to the area. For mild nipple inversion with a longer nipple neck, gauze can be used to wrap and secure it, generally lasting 2-3 months to return to normal. For deeper nipple inversion with a shorter nipple neck, in addition to wrapping with gauze, adhesive tape should be used to pull the inverted nipple, and then the tape should be fixed to the breast. ..
