Patient's question:

A pregnant woman has milk, but the nipple hasn't come out of the breast, what should she do?

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 infection, leading to chronic inflammation, and potentially causing cancer. Clinically, in addition to treating the underlying cause, surgical intervention can also be performed. Congenital inverted nipples can be treated early through negative pressure suction to pull the nipples. If this method is ineffective, surgical correction can be considered.
