Patient's question:
21 years old, there has been a hard lump in my breast, on both sides, and the nipples are inverted. There are small bumps on the areola. What is this disease? Do I need to be checked?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: It is likely congenital nipple inversion. Due to the nipple inversion, breastfeeding is affected, and it is difficult to clean the area, making it prone to accumulating dirt and secondary infection, which can lead to chronic inflammation and potentially cause cancer.Suggestions: In the early stages, pay attention to regularly cleaning with warm water. After cleaning, frequently pull the nipple outward by hand or use negative pressure suction to gradually improve the condition on your own. If it doesn't work, surgical correction may be necessary.
