My nipples are usually inverted, only protruding when stimulated or when it's cold.

Patient's question:

I want to ask if this situation will affect feeding the child in the future? It's too ugly without nipples, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Hello, due to the nipple inversion affecting breastfeeding and the difficulty in cleaning the area, it is prone to accumulating dirt and causing secondary infection, leading to chronic inflammation, and potentially increasing the risk of cancer. In clinical practice, in addition to treating the underlying cause, surgical treatment can also be considered. Congenital nipple inversion can be treated early through negative pressure suction to pull the nipple. If this method is ineffective, surgical correction can be performed.
