Patient's question:
Previously, I noticed that white liquid has been leaking for the past two days. I had an ultrasound done at a nearby hospital, but no lump was found. There is one swollen lymph node under the armpit and one under the clavicle. The doctor recommended that I come to your hospital for a catheter scope examination to confirm the diagnosis. I would like to ask if the catheter scope examination requires hospitalization.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, the female breast is a mammary gland. The nipple protrudes at the center of the areola, where all the milk ducts open. It plays a crucial role in human reproduction and survival.Guidance: At the same time, the breast serves as a secondary sexual characteristic, directly participating in the formation of the female's graceful silhouette and being a symbol of beauty and love. There are many reasons for inverted nipples, but most are due to poor development of the smooth muscle in the areola and a lack of supportive tissue beneath the nipple. Since nipples can change under emotional and various stimuli, inverted nipples can be corrected. The methods are as follows:
1. Manual traction: For mild inversion, after puberty, especially during pregnancy, the nipple can be gently pulled outward and stretched multiple times a day.
2. Suction therapy: After pregnancy, the nipple should be suctioned with a breast pump several times a day to promote expansion using its negative pressure.
3. Surgical correction: If the above methods are ineffective, surgery can be performed to cut the overly tight smooth muscle fibers and connective tissues without damaging the milk ducts, allowing the nipple to protrude.
At the same time, it is important to wear loose bras and underwear, avoid tight clothing, and not sleep on your stomach.
