Defects of unmarried women: can breast nipple invagination be treated?
Midnight 12 hotline
At midnight 12 o'clock, I was awakened by a rush of telephone ringing. Who could it be? As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard a very low and embarrassed female voice: "Doctor, please help me."
She, a Fujian girl who came to work in Shanghai, has a childhood boyfriend. My boyfriend came to see her that day, and I couldn't help it. Her boyfriend's gentle touch and slow twist lit a bunch of flames on her, but no matter what he did, he couldn't open the most beautiful red cherry blossoms on her chest. My boyfriend said half jokingly, "I've been trying for a long time, but I just don't lose face." A word made her face fall and pushed her boyfriend away. It turns out that although she is not Princess Taiping, she has a small defect-nipple invagination.
When she was a teenager, she developed earlier than girls of her age. She is worried about being teased by her classmates, so she either wears tight underwear to tighten her chest or a bra with too small size, which leads to flat chest and affects the normal development of the breast for a long time. The nipple is deeply trapped in the breast because of extrusion. As an adult, she began to regret what she had done. She tried many ways to squeeze and pinch, but every time there was nothing but pain. I heard that this is a deformity, which will affect the baby's future feeding. This made her more worried. Now she is worried that her boyfriend will not like her because of this.
Diagnosis of nipple invagination
There is nipple invagination almost every time in the breast specialist clinic. Clinical data show that the incidence of female nipple inversion is 65438 0% to 2%. The normal nipple is cylindrical, protruding from the breast plane about 1.5 ~ 2 cm, and is furuncle-like. 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 impact 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. The degree of nipple invagination varies, some only show nipple invagination, and the most serious performance is nipple depression or even inversion. Clinically, nipple invagination can be divided into three types: type ⅰ: nipple invagination exists in the nipple neck, and the invaginated nipple can be easily squeezed out by hand, and the size of the squeezed nipple is similar to that of ordinary people; Type Ⅱ: All nipples are depressed in areola, but they can be squeezed out by hand. Nipples are smaller than normal, and most of them have no nipple neck. Type ⅲ: The nipple is completely buried under the areola, and the invaginated nipple cannot be squeezed out. Nipple invagination not only hinders the beauty and lactation function of the breast, but also is difficult to clean locally. The concave part is easy to shelter evil people and shelter evil people, which often causes local infection. The mammary duct is connected with the concave part, and inflammation can spread into the breast, causing mastitis. So adolescent nipple depression should be corrected in time.
Nipple depression lifter helps girls solve problems
In the past, nipple depression was corrected by surgery, and the contracted mammary duct was cut off to correct the deformity. But in this way, in addition to the scar caused by surgery, injury or cutting off the contracture catheter will also have adverse consequences. From 65438 to 0998, the nipple depression and uplift device developed by the Department of Plastic Burns of Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region solved this problem, and its cure rate reached 98%.
Nipple depression lifter is suitable for patients with primary mild to moderate nipple depression and partial severe depression. It is not suitable for secondary nipple depression (such as breast tumor, local smooth muscle injury caused by breast surgery and severe scar traction), and should be used with caution in pregnant patients. When using, the appropriate negative pressure should be selected according to the degree of nipple depression and the individual's ability to bear pain. Generally, 3 ~ 4 ml air can be pumped, and then the negative pressure intensity is gradually increased. The adsorption time is gradually prolonged, and the intermittent time is gradually shortened until it can be worn all day. Because the mammary duct is stimulated during the treatment, it will produce some secretions and pollute the nipple cap. In addition, the brim is also soaked by sweat, so it should be cleaned in time to avoid secondary infection. Generally, the nipple can be sucked out in about 30 days, and then it can be consolidated for 2 ~ 3 months.
Expert tip: Although there are methods to treat nipple depression, the key lies in prevention. First, mothers with inverted nipples, menstruation and other immediate family members should be the focus of prevention. After the birth of a baby girl with genetic tendency, the mother can gently pull the nipple outward, 1 ~ 2 times a day. Pay attention to the action must be gentle; Second, underwear should be made of cotton, changed frequently and exposed to more sun. If the nipple shows signs of redness and cracking, the underwear should be cooked and disinfected, and it is not too early for girls to use bras. Third, underwear and bra should be suitable, not too tight. For girls with larger breasts, more attention should be paid to the looseness of bras. For girls who have prone habits, it is necessary to correct them in time to prevent nipples from being squeezed, so as not to aggravate the degree of nipple depression.
