Patient's question:
My cousin has always had inverted nipples, which made her feel very self-conscious. That's why she got married late. Now she has just given birth, but the baby can't feed because the nipples haven't come out yet. Before giving birth, she went to the doctor, who said that once the baby was born and suckled, the nipples would come out. But now it seems impossible—the baby has been trying to suck for two days, and the nipples still haven't come out. The baby is crying loudly from hunger.Doctor's answer:
Hello, inverted nipples can greatly affect breastfeeding. It is recommended to first buy a breast pump from a supermarket to extract milk and nipples, and then allow the infant to suck the nipples as early and effectively as possible. Most nipples with poor elasticity can be improved through proper infant sucking. For inverted nipples with squamous cell carcinoma, it is important to ensure cleanliness before breastfeeding. Wishing you good health!
