Inverted nipples are a very common phenomenon. Inverted nipples can occur on one side or on both sides. Inverted nipples are a type of nipple deformity. If you are feeding, it will have an impact. Although it will hinder feeding, it will not affect normal breastfeeding. Inverted nipples can actually be treated, but the cause needs to be found out before treatment. What is the cause of inverted nipples on the chest? What is the cause of inverted nipples? 1. Primary nipple inversion (1) Smooth muscle dysplasia. The nipple has 15 to 20 lactiferous duct openings, and the lactiferous ducts are surrounded by smooth muscle fibers. The nipple is pulled inward by the muscle fiber bundles that surround the lactiferous ducts and insert into the nipple dermis. The texture of these muscle bundles is significantly different from that of the lactiferous ducts. (2) Lactiferous duct hypoplasia. The immature lactiferous ducts fail to ductalize and appear as cords. (3) There is a lack of supporting tissue under the nipple. 2. Secondary inverted nipple (1) Caused by disease. Caused by contraction of invaded ducts, ligaments, and fascia. (2) Breast malignancy. Women with normal breasts who experience inverted nipples without obvious cause should undergo mammograms and other examinations to rule out the presence of breast malignancy. (3) Breast surgery. When using dermal pedicles in breast plastic surgery, nipple inversion may also occur due to tension and scar contraction. 3. Other common causes (1) Clothing that is too tight. If women's underwear is too tight during the period of breast development, it is easy to cause nipple retraction. (2) Improper use of bra. Wearing a bra that is too small, too tight, or too early can cause inverted nipples. (3) Related to genetics. Clinical observation shows that if the mother and her maternal generation or grandmother has a history of inverted nipples, the next generation is more likely to suffer from inverted nipples than normal people. The dangers of inverted nipples 1. Impact on breastfeeding Whether the nipples are flat, inverted or everted, they will make breastfeeding inconvenient. If the nipples develop abnormally, especially inverted, it will affect the newborn's sucking and make normal breastfeeding difficult. In addition, due to inverted nipples, newborns cannot hold the nipples, milk cannot be sucked out, and newborns are prone to dehydration. Patients with inverted nipples will have larger breasts due to pregnancy, and milk secretion will make the breasts swell further, which will make the nipple inversion worse, and the mother will also give up breastfeeding for her own reasons. 2. Affects the beauty of breasts Inverted nipples will affect the beauty of women's breasts, causing them to lose their beautiful curves, which will have an adverse effect on their overall image. 3. Affects sexual life The nipple is also one of the female sexual sensitive points, and the stimulation of the nipple can also make women reach orgasm. Inverted nipples can make it difficult for women to obtain effective sexual stimulation and may even affect men's sexual desire. |
