Patient's question:
Nipple inversion in the postpartum woman, the child cannot breastfeed. Nipple inversion in the mother of the child, the child cannot breastfeed.Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Hello! If a nipple inversion (nipple retraction) is detected, it is best for women to undergo correction promptly. Depending on the specific situation, the following methods can be chosen.1. Manual traction. Puberty is a crucial period for breast development and also an important time for correcting nipple inversion. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts more prominent and increase the supporting strength 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 several times a day to suction the nipples, leveraging the negative pressure to promote nipple protrusion.
3. Using a nipple corrector is a treatment for flat or inverted nipples.
