In particular, some girls are shy about breast development, so they wear tight underwear to tighten their breasts, or wear a bra that is too small too early, and the developing breasts will be squeezed and flattened; At the same time, the poor blood circulation and insufficient nutrition supply of the oppressed breast will affect the normal development of the breast; The nipple is also deeply immersed in the breast due to being squeezed, forming nipple invagination (nipple depression).
Nipple invagination (nipple depression) varies in degree, and some only show nipple invagination, and the most serious manifestation is nipple invagination or even inversion. Clinically, nipple invagination can be divided into three types:
Type I: The nipple is partially invaginated and the nipple neck exists. The invaginated nipple is 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 (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 to the breast, causing mastitis.
Nipple invagination (nipple depression) is mainly congenital, but it can also be caused by trauma or surgery, breast tumor and fibrous hyperplasia after mastitis. Congenital nipple invagination is caused by poor development 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. Generally, both sides occur at the same time, but also unilateral onset. The invaginated nipple can come back after being slightly squeezed or pulled, which belongs to mild nipple invagination. Congenital nipple inversion is more common in women who have no history of breastfeeding.
Secondary nipple invagination is common in breast diseases, such as breast cancer, often unilateral invagination. Don't underestimate the acquired nipple invagination (nipple depression). You should go to a specialized hospital and do relevant tests, such as B-ultrasound and X-ray mammography, to rule out the possibility of breast cancer. There is another situation: eczema and itching around the nipple appear repeatedly and last for a long time. We should consider the possibility of paget's disease, which is a special type of breast cancer.
Correction and prevention of nipple depression
Straight breasts are the focus of women's beauty, and nipples are the "delicate points" in the focus. If nipple invagination (nipple depression) is found, women had better correct it in time. The following methods can be selected according to different situations.
The first is manual pulling. Adolescence is an important period of breast development and correction of nipple invagination. Often pulling the nipple can make the breast protrude, increase the supporting force of the surrounding skin, and play the role of "shaping". Several times a day. After a long time, the nipple naturally protrudes outward. If you can't pull it out, you can first push the skin near the nipple of the breast outward.
The second is suction therapy. After pregnancy, use a breast pump to suck the nipple several times a day, and use its negative pressure to expand the nipple.
Third, the use of nipple orthosis is to treat nipple flattening or depression.
Mothers, menstrual and other immediate family members who have nipple invagination should be the key prevention targets. 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, it is best to ask experienced people to operate. In this way, we can see that the baby's nipple is mung bean-shaped or small round and higher than the skin, and the probability of nipple invagination is greatly reduced.
Second, pay attention to clothes. Close-fitting 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, prevent extrusion. Underwear and bra should be suitable, not too tight. For girls with big breasts, more attention should be paid to the looseness of breasts. 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.
Maternal women with nipple depression should pay special attention to the health care and hygiene of nipples after delivery. If the nipple is slightly sunken, appropriately increase the number of times the baby sucks, and at the same time pay attention to protecting the nipple, pay attention to cleaning after breastfeeding, and beware of infection. Once the nipple is red and swollen, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to prevent mastitis.
Harm of nipple depression
First of all, it hinders bodybuilding and affects breastfeeding.
Secondly, because the nipple is sunken, it is often forced to be pulled out when breastfeeding. At this time, the nipple is very delicate, and once it collides, it is easy to be damaged, broken and bleeding, which can cause infection of the nipple and even the whole breast, and eventually mastitis occurs.
Thirdly, nipple is a very important sexual sensitive point for women, and many women's sexual desire is realized through nipple stimulation. Once the nipple is sunken, it is difficult to play an effective role in sexual stimulation, and even affect the man's sexual desire.
