Nipple invagination means that the nipple is trapped in the areola, and in severe cases, it is crater-shaped, with annular uplift around the depression. Most of them are congenital, and can also be caused by trauma, inflammation, tumor and other reasons.

It is suggested that patients with inverted nipples can practice with breast pump or manipulation during lactation to stretch their nipples and prepare for breastfeeding. Nipple invagination is also closely related to inflammation around the catheter. Especially for non-lactation mastitis, once nipple invagination occurs, especially in adolescence, manual correction can be given. Once the effect is not good, surgical treatment should be considered in time to correct nipple invagination.

If your nipple invagination is not too serious, you can take the method of pulling to relieve the symptoms. Besides pulling the nipple, we should also pull the areola and subcutaneous tissue. Repeated practice every day can effectively improve nipple invagination.

If nipple invagination is serious, traction, negative pressure and other methods can not be corrected. You can go to a regular hospital for nipple plastic surgery. Generally, this operation will not damage the nerves of the nipple, nor will it affect breastfeeding in the future.

Suck out the nipple with a breast pump and pull it several times a day. Time depends on the degree of invagination until it disappears completely. You can also use a simple and convenient nipple corrector directly.
