Patient's question:
If the nipple hasn't grown out, is there any way to make it come out?Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Nipple inversion refers to a condition where the nipple does not protrude above the breast skin and does not protrude even when pulled. In this case, the inverted nipple within the breast can be pulled out by hand and held in place for a period of time. If this method is not effective, you can try the syringe suction method.Prepare a 10-mL plastic syringe, remove the outer casing from the front end of the syringe; pull out the needle core, turn the syringe upside down, and align the open end of the outer casing with the inverted nipple. Then, insert the needle core from the cut end of the syringe's front end and gently suction. Use the negative pressure of the syringe to pull out the inverted nipple and hold it in place for 5-6 minutes. Repeat 1-2 times daily.
