Patient's question:
I have very prominent nipples, but recently, something unexpected has happened again. My left nipple has completely collapsed outward. Before, my nipples were so big and exposed, but now they're all pushed in, and I'm not used to it at all. How come my left nipple is inverted?Doctor's answer:
Most nipple retraction on the left side is caused by various factors such as trauma, breast diseases, and endocrine disorders. Unilateral nipple retraction should be highly of the possibility of breast cancer. It is important to seek follow-up care at a regular public hospital's breast surgery department promptly. Specialists will conduct additional thorough examinations based on the actual condition to confirm the diagnosis, identify the underlying causes, and provide targeted treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
