Patient's question:
I am nineteen years old, and my nipples have never grown? Is it necessary to have surgery to make them grow?Doctor's answer:
Hello; Nipple inversion is a common disease in women, where the nipple does not protrude above the breast skin and does not protrude even when pulled. This condition, although it does not directly affect marriage, can impact emotional communication during sexual activity between couples and make breastfeeding difficult after childbirth. Long-term nipple inversion can cause the epidermis to become fragile, making it prone to rupture, infection, and local inflammation or eczema. In severe cases, it may lead to dilatation of the breast ducts. The following methods can be adopted: first, manual traction; second, suction therapy using a breast pump to suction the nipple several times to utilize its negative pressure to promote nipple protrusion; third, using a nipple corrector to treat flat or inverted nipples.
