Patient's question:
How to deal with inverted nipples in an 18-year-old girl?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello! If you notice inverted nipples (nipple retraction), it is best for women to seek correction promptly. Depending on the situation, the following methods can be chosen.1. Manual traction. Puberty is a crucial period for breast development and an important time for correcting inverted nipples. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts more prominent and increase the support of the surrounding skin, achieving a "shaping" effect. Do this several times a day. Over time, the nipples will naturally gradually protrude outward. If they don’t come out, you can first gently push the skin near the nipple outward.
2. Suction therapy. After pregnancy, use a breast pump to suction the nipples several times a day, utilizing its negative pressure to promote nipple protrusion.
3. Using a nipple corrector is a treatment for flat or inverted nipples.
