What is the cause of women's inverted nipples and how to treat them

Nowadays, women's breasts are a symbol of beauty. Full and upright breasts are what every woman wants to have. While paying attention to the breasts, you will definitely notice the nipples. Some women find that their nipples are inverted, which is very unsightly. They try all kinds of treatments, but none of them have any obvious effect. So what causes inverted nipples in women and how to treat them? I believe this is a question that many female friends are concerned about. Please read the article.

Inverted nipple refers to the phenomenon that the female nipple does not protrude from the surface of the areola, and even sinks into the skin surface, with the local area resembling a crater. Generally speaking, mild nipple inversion will not affect normal breastfeeding, but severe nipple inversion means that the nipple is deeply sunken in the mammary gland and cannot be pulled out. This situation will affect breastfeeding and is prone to infection. Nipple correction surgery should be performed as soon as possible. Long-term inverted nipple compresses the lymphatic vessels behind the areola, causing lymphatic reflux obstruction and collagen tissue exudation. At the same time, the epidermal cells shed on the nipple surface and areola secretions cannot be cleared in time, thereby irritating the nipple skin and causing nipple and areola inflammation. Severe nipple inversion leads to mucosalization of the inverted skin with eczema. The mammary ducts are connected to the inverted area, and the inflammation can spread retrogradely into the mammary gland, causing mastitis.

The most common specific causes of inverted nipples are as follows: wearing clothes that are too tight. Especially for women during the period of breast development, wearing too tight underwear can easily lead to nipple retraction; improper use of bras. Bras that are too small, too tight, or used too early can cause inverted nipples. Inverted nipples are also related to genetics. Clinical observations show that if the mother and her maternal or grandmother have a history of inverted nipples, the next generation is more likely to suffer from inverted nipples than normal people.

To sum up, the harm of inverted nipples can be serious or minor. It is recommended to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible and do not delay it. Otherwise, if you wait until it becomes serious to seek medical treatment, the cure rate will be reduced and you will have to endure pain. Experts suggest that friends who want to undergo surgery should pay more attention to their lifestyle habits and buy underwear that suits them before marriage.
