Patient's question:
My nipples are quite large, but recently, something unexpected has happened again. The entire left nipple has collapsed outward. Before, when the nipples were so large and exposed outside, I was used to them being prominent. Now, they're all pushed in, and I'm still not used to it. How come the 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.
