Normal female nipples protrude, are aesthetically pleasing and natural, and can complete breastfeeding normally, allowing children to feed comfortably. However, some women's nipples do not protrude and are recessed within the breast. Not only can children not suckle milk normally, but they may also bite the nipple, which can also affect women's self-confidence and cause significant physical and psychological harm. Congenital inverted nipples require nipple lift surgery to make the nipple protrude.
Why don't nipples protrude and how to treat it? If nipples do not protrude, it may be due to inverted nipples, congenital developmental abnormalities, or improper postnatal care. Inverted nipples vary in severity. If not severe, the nipple will protrude when stimulated. In severe cases, it will be completely recessed within the areola. Women can use traction techniques to make the nipple protrude, which can increase breast support and achieve shaping effects. However, women must persist in traction, and over time, it will gradually protrude outward, thereby improving inverted nipples. Women can also use a breast pump to traction the nipple. In daily life, pay attention to wearing a properly fitting bra to avoid being too loose or tight, as this may worsen the degree of inverted nipples.
Daily Prevention of Inverted Nipples:
1. Do not wear overly tight bras and change them frequently. Choose cotton underwear that fits closely to the body for daily use. If redness or cracks are found on the nipple, immediately disinfect the bra. Avoid using bras too early when young.
2. Do not squeeze the breasts excessively. Choose appropriate bras, and girls with larger breasts should keep their chests loose. Often lie on one side and correct your sleeping position when lying on your stomach to prevent the nipple from being squeezed.
3. For congenital inverted nipples, it is recommended to start pulling the nipple daily with your hands when the breasts begin to develop, allowing the nipple to gradually elongate. This pulling action effectively resolves the issue of inverted nipples. Severe inverted nipples can also be alleviated using this method.
