What to do if a woman has inverted nipples during breastfeeding

I believe that many people who do not pay attention to medicine do not know much about inverted nipples. In fact, inverted nipples are also called sunken nipples. I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the word "concave". The antonym of "concave" is "convex". Under normal circumstances, a woman's nipples are protruding during breastfeeding, which makes it easier for the baby to suck and breastfeed. Retracted nipples are a very common condition. Relevant studies have shown that 40% of people will experience this condition. So what should women do if they have inverted nipples during breastfeeding?

Solutions for inverted nipples during lactation:

1. Gently pull out the nipple each time and put it into the baby's mouth. When the baby can hold the nipple and suck it, you are successful. However, because nipples are usually inverted, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the nipples, and the nipples should be pulled out and cleaned frequently.

2. During breastfeeding, the nipples should be cleaned before and after each breastfeeding to avoid secondary infection caused by residual milk and dirt around the nipples. If your nipples are severely inverted, do not pull or tug on them forcefully.

3. Those who are truly unable to breastfeed should stop breastfeeding as soon as possible to avoid acute mastitis.

After giving birth, mothers with inverted nipples during lactation should pay special attention to the health and hygiene of their nipples. For those with slightly inverted nipples, they should pay attention to protecting their nipples when appropriately increasing the number of times the baby sucks, and pay attention to cleaning them after breastfeeding to prevent infection. If nipple redness and swelling occur, go to the hospital in time to prevent the formation of mastitis. Treatment for severe inverted nipples: Severe inverted nipples can only be corrected through plastic surgery. The corrective surgery for severe inverted nipples is performed by completely loosening the muscle fiber bundles that pull the nipple inward, filling the surrounding tissue under the nipple to enhance the support of the nipple, making the nipple protrude, and reshaping it.
