Nipple inverted pictures

Although retracted nipples are not a serious disease in themselves, they can harm women's health if they are not treated effectively. Because retracted nipples are a condition that will immediately cause women to lose the prominence of their chest, it will affect the display of their beautiful curves. If you are pregnant, it may also affect breastfeeding. Next, let’s discuss what inverted nipples look like.

1. Basic symptoms of inverted nipple

The nipple is not protruding but is concave inward, which is called inverted nipple. The basic symptom of inverted nipple is that the nipple on one or both breasts becomes inverted. The degree of depression is different for each person. The milder ones will only show different degrees of nipple depression or retraction. Generally, after being stimulated, they can bulge out or we can squeeze out the nipple. But in more serious cases, the nipple is completely sunken into the nipple and cannot be pulled out, resembling a dead volcano, and is often accompanied by secretions or odor. After the nipple is retracted, it is difficult to clean, which can easily cause dirt to run into the memory and cause some chronic infection, resulting in breast inflammation. Some nipple retractions may also be accompanied by a foul odor and local skin erosion. Mothers who are breastfeeding may be unable to breastfeed, which may lead to milk stasis and even subacute mastitis.

2. Classification and related symptoms of nipple inversion

Earlier we mentioned that the degree of nipple inversion varies from person to person. We generally divide nipple inversion into three degrees based on the intensity of the nipple: first degree, second degree and third degree. The main manifestation of first-degree inverted nipple is that part of the nipple is inverted, and the nipple neck exists and can be easily squeezed. After squeezing, the nipple size is similar to that of a normal person; the second degree is that the nipple is completely indented in the nipple, but the nipple can be squeezed out by hand. The nipple is smaller than normal, and most of the time there is no nipple neck; the third degree is that the nipple is completely buried under the nipple, and the inverted nipple cannot be squeezed. We usually choose different methods to treat according to different levels. If the condition is severe to the third degree and normal stretching cannot restore the nipple, surgical treatment is required. If a pregnant woman has inverted nipples, there will generally be some differences. Because inverted nipples will seriously affect breastfeeding, whether the nipples are flat or inverted, it will inevitably affect the baby's sucking, causing feeding difficulties and possible secondary breast infection, so the application should be treated in time.

The nipple is an important organ in human reproduction, especially for women who are breastfeeding. The health of the nipple directly affects the health of the next generation. Therefore, if nipple dents occur, prompt and effective treatment should be given. Inverted nipples can be affected by genetic inheritance and hereditary factors, so if some women have this condition in their family, they should pay more attention to avoiding inverted nipples.
