If the nipple of an adult woman is trapped under the skin surface of the areola and does not protrude out of the plane of the areola, it is called nipple inversion. The degree of nipple invagination varies, some only show nipple invagination, and the most serious performance is nipple depression or even inversion. Nipple invagination not only hinders the beauty of the breast, but also hinders the lactation function, and it is difficult to clean locally. The concave part is easy to hide dirt and accept dirt, which often causes local infection. The mammary duct is connected with the concave part, and inflammation can spread into the breast, causing mastitis, which should be corrected.
Nipple invagination is mainly congenital, but it can also be caused by trauma or surgery, breast tumor and fibroplasia after mastitis. The main cause of congenital nipple invagination is the dysplasia of smooth muscle of nipple and areola. These muscle fibers are pulled inward, and the lack of supporting tissue under the nipple forms nipple invagination. Entrapment usually occurs on both sides at the same time or unilaterally. The inverted nipple can come back as long as it is squeezed or pulled slightly, which belongs to mild nipple inversion, also known as reversible nipple inversion. This kind of nipple invagination can be corrected by non-surgical conservative treatment, and the best time for treatment is before marriage or early pregnancy. Specific methods include manual traction and instrument traction.
Hand traction: squeeze the nipple out of the skin surface by yourself, hold the nipple horizontally or vertically with your thumb and forefinger, and pull the nipple outward continuously or intermittently for about 30 minutes each time, alternating sides. 3-5 times a day. Instrument traction: that is, using the negative pressure principle to suck out the nipple with a manual or electric breast pump, or sucking out the nipple continuously or intermittently, 30 minutes each time, alternating on both sides, 3-5 times a day. After two months, the above two correction methods can get good results.
Irreversible nipple inversion, that is, severe nipple inversion, can only be corrected by surgery. The operation is to completely loosen the invaginated muscle fiber bundle and fill the surrounding tissue under the nipple, so as to enhance the supporting force of the nipple and make the nipple bulge and plastic. Surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia, and there are various surgical methods, which can be selected purposefully according to specific conditions. The operation is carried out in the areola, which is small and will not leave obvious surgical scars. Under normal circumstances, it will not damage the sensory nerve of the nipple, so it will not hinder the normal feeling of the nipple after operation. Surgery generally does not destroy the mammary duct, so it will not cause breastfeeding disorders.
It is worth mentioning that after surgical correction of inverted nipple, there is still the possibility of recurrence. Therefore, 5-7 days after surgical suture removal, it is necessary to manually pull the nipple for 1-2 months, and if conditions permit, it can also be pulled with instruments to consolidate the curative effect and prevent the recurrence of nipple invagination.
The General Hospital of the Military Region ingeniously added "beauty" to the nipple depression, and it stood up as soon as it was pulled out+0 August 31June 13:45 Yangzi Evening News.
A female patient with severe nipple depression recently returned to normal after being treated with a nipple depression lifter invented by the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of the General Hospital of the Military Region.
Congenital nipple depression seriously affects women's physical and mental health, and previous surgical methods usually cause mastitis, breast abscess and other phenomena. Director Jiang Huiqing, Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery, General Hospital of Military Region, took the lead in developing and inventing nipple depression and protrusion device in the Asia-Pacific region. The nipple will use the principle of physical negative pressure. After three months of negative pressure, the nipple will protrude and return to normal. The handle is small and exquisite, and it does not affect the beauty of the chest at all when worn in a bra. This expander has obtained the national invention patent. (Gong Yi)
Puberty-the best time to correct nipple depression 200011.01.02: 31health 123.
The normal nipple is cylindrical, protruding about 1.5-2 cm from the breast plane, showing a nodular shape. If the nipple is not higher than the breast skin and is not pulled up, it is called nipple invagination. Although this disease has no direct influence on marriage, it will affect the emotional communication and life of husband and wife, and it is inconvenient to breastfeed after delivery, which is easy to cause local inflammation and eczema, and can cause mammary duct dilatation in severe cases. So adolescent nipple depression should be corrected in time. Go to the hospital to check that it is not mastitis or other diseases, and then try self-treatment:
First, you can pull out the nipple sunken in the breast by hand and fix it for a period of time. If this method doesn't work, try syringe aspiration. Prepare a pair of 10 ml plastic syringes, and remove the shell at the front of the syringes; Pull out the needle core, turn the syringe upside down, and align the opening at the rear end of the syringe shell with the concave nipple; Then insert the needle core from the cutting position at the front end of the syringe, gently suck it, and use the negative pressure of the syringe to suck out the sunken nipple and fix it for 5-6 minutes; 65438+ 0-2 times a day.
At present, there is a "nipple lifter" on the market, the principle is similar to the later one, but it can be fixed for a longer time and can be worn for life and work. When treating with booster, start inhaling 1-2 times a day for half an hour each time. If there is no reaction, the adsorption time can be increased. Generally, you can suck out the nipple in about 30 days, and then consolidate the treatment for 2-3 months.
Usually choose a bra that is not too tight and has nipple space to avoid nipple pressure. If the above treatment methods are ineffective, you can go to the plastic surgery department of the hospital for surgery, and the effect is also very good, which will not affect your future marriage and breastfeeding.
