Some women in daily life have the problem of nipple recession. For women with nipple recession, breastfeeding after pregnancy and giving birth can be troublesome, and nipple recession can cause harm to the body. This has brought special troubles to many women with inverted nipples, as they do not know why they are experiencing this situation or what to do. In fact, nipple retraction can be corrected.
Why are female nipples sunken?
1、 Primary inverted nipple. Generally speaking, nipple retraction is a congenital cause, mainly due to underdeveloped breast muscles. Female nipples generally have about 20 openings for milk ducts, and smooth muscle fibers are distributed around the ducts. The sunken nipples are pulled by the ducts and the muscle fibers around the breasts, coupled with a lack of supporting tissue for the nipples, resulting in nipple retraction. Generally speaking, congenital nipple retraction occurs bilaterally, but it can also occur unilaterally.
In addition, underdeveloped ducts can also cause nipple retraction, and underdeveloped ducts cannot be fully ducted, leading to breast retraction.
2、 Secondary inverted nipple. Secondary nipple retraction is mainly caused by breast diseases, and it is usually caused by breast tumors, breast inflammation, or after breast surgery. In addition, significant breast sagging can also cause nipple retraction.
How to correct inverted nipple?
Correcting inverted nipples during teenage years is the most important period, as breast development during teenage years often involves pulling and protruding the nipples, enhancing the support around the nipples, and playing a fixed role. Persist a few times a day, and over time, the nipples will naturally protrude outward.
If not corrected in a timely manner during teenage years, it can also be corrected after pregnancy. After pregnancy, use a breast pump every day to absorb the nipples and promote nipple expansion. This treatment method has a significant effect on mild and moderate nipple invagination, especially for flat nipples.
In cases of severe nipple retraction, the method of pulling out is ineffective. This is achieved by completely relaxing the muscle fibers of the nipple through surgery, filling the tissue around the breast to the base of the nipple, improving the support of the breast, and achieving the goal of nipple protrusion.
Kind reminder, if a woman has breast recession, she should not ignore it. She should consult a doctor at the hospital and take corrective measures under the guidance of the doctor. Timely correction can reduce the impact of nipple recession. In addition, if it is a girl with developing breasts, it is necessary to take preventive measures and pull the nipple more frequently to achieve the purpose of prevention.
