Nipple retraction is an abnormal condition of women's breasts, which not only affects the appearance of the breasts, but also affects the confidence of female friends. We must immediately correct it.
Symptoms of inverted nipple
First degree retraction: The nipple may retract slightly, with a groove at the base of the nipple.
Second degree retraction: The nipple is moderately retracted, with the top of the nipple sinking into the areola.
Third degree retraction: This is the most severe condition of nipple retraction, where the nipple retracts severely and folds into the breast.
Nipple retraction examination
1. Molybdenum target X-ray examination: Axial X-ray can reveal breast masses, fibrosis, and calcification lesions.
2. MRI examination: Fat resistance scan can display inverted nipples.
Treatment of nipple invagination
1. Conservative treatment: Mild nipple retraction. You can use your fingers or a suction device to squeeze the nipple out of the areola, hold it horizontally and forward with both hands, and continuously or intermittently pull the nipple outward for about 30 minutes each time, alternating between the two nipples. You can pull 3-5 times a day. Generally speaking, outstanding results can be achieved after two months. If ineffective, equipment traction can be performed. This method does not affect breastfeeding.
2. Surgical treatment: For cases where the degree of invagination is severe and it is generally difficult to pull it out of the areola by hand. The main method is to completely release the invaginated papillary muscle fiber bundle through surgery, filling the tissue around the breast to the base of the nipple, improving the support for the nipple, and achieving the goal of nipple protrusion. This type of surgery requires anesthesia, and there are many types of surgeries that can be chosen according to one's own situation.
Correction of inverted nipple
1. Manual traction: Adolescence is an important period for breast development and correction of nipple retraction. Frequent nipple pulling can increase the protrusion of the breasts and the support of the surrounding skin, exerting a shaping effect. If you persist for a long time, your nipples will gradually bulge outward. If you cannot pull it out, you can first push the skin near the nipple to the outside.
2. Attraction therapy: After pregnancy, use a suction device to attract the nipple several times a day, using negative pressure to promote nipple expansion.
3. The nipple corrector treats flat or concave nipples.
