Causes of inverted nipples in women

Retracted nipples are a phenomenon and symptom that many female friends often find. Most friends think that this is caused by poor breast development. In fact, this has a lot to do with some of their own reasons, such as not protecting their breast health in time during the development process of puberty.

Clothing that is too tight. Especially for women during the period of breast development, if their underwear is too tight, it can easily lead to nipple retraction.

Improper bra use. A bra that is too small, too tight, or used too early can cause nipple inversion.

Inverted nipples are also related to genetics. Clinical observations show that if the mother and her maternal or grandmother has a history of inverted nipples, the next generation is more likely to suffer from inverted nipples than normal people.

There are ways to correct and treat inverted nipples, but the key is prevention.

Nipple inversion should be treated from adolescence. Mothers, aunts and other female immediate family members who have inverted nipples should be the focus of prevention.

Stretch frequently.

Adolescence is an important period for breast development and also an important period for correcting inverted nipples. Regularly pulling the nipples can make the breasts protrude, increase the supporting strength of the surrounding skin, and play a "shaping" role. If self-traction is not effective, you should go to the hospital to consult a doctor in time to learn how to use a nipple retractor for treatment. For those who fail to respond to correction, surgery can be used for correction. The operation is simple, easy, painless and can be performed on an outpatient basis.

Pay attention to your clothes.

Underwear should be made of cotton and should be changed and washed frequently. If the nipples show signs of redness or cracking due to sunlight exposure, the underwear should be steamed and sterilized to prevent infection. Girls should not use bras too early. The normal age for wearing bras is generally 16 to 17 years old.

As we know more about female nipple retraction, this phenomenon generally brings serious impact to female friends, and may even cause them to be unable to breastfeed after giving birth. The usual treatment method is plastic surgery.
