What are the hazards of female nipple depression?
1. Affects breastfeeding
The invagination, flattening, and flipping of nipples all affect lactation. Especially if the breast is sunken, it can affect the suckling of newborns and prevent them from breastfeeding normally. In addition, if the nipples become sunken, newborns cannot hold them, and milk cannot be sucked out in a timely manner, which can easily lead to dehydration. Patients' breasts will become larger due to pregnancy, and the secretion of milk will cause the breasts to become swollen, which will make nipple retraction more severe.
2. Affects the aesthetics of the breasts
Because the nipples appear sunken, it can affect the fitness of women's breasts, thereby losing their curvaceous beauty and affecting the overall image. The nipple is one of the female sexual sensitivities, and stimulation through the nipple can help women reach orgasm. When the nipple sinks, it reduces sexual stimulation and affects their sexual desire.
3. Affected the baby's physical health
Newborn mothers with inverted nipples cannot provide their babies with the necessary breast milk, which affects their physical development and also prolongs their recovery time, leading to areolar papillitis, mastitis, etc.
What about nipple depression?
When there is a slight depression, attention should be paid to local cleanliness and hygiene. Warm water can be used for cleaning, and the areola and nipples should also be massaged. Lift and protrude the nipple during free time, and try to apply vegetable oil and liquid on the breast during operation. Patients with mild nipple indentation and long nipples can be wrapped and fixed with gauze. Generally, it takes about 3 months to restore normal nipple indentation depth. If the nipples are short, not only can they be stretched and fixed with gauze.
If there is a family genetic history of nipple retraction, girls should pull their nipples outward 1-2 times a day after birth, pay attention to their soft movements, and try to choose experienced individuals to avoid nipple retraction in children.
Choose pure cotton breathable underwear, frequently replace it, sunburn in the sun, cracks in the nipples, disinfect and steam the red underwear, and girls should not wear bras early, and the bras and underwear should not be too tight. Girls with large breasts should pay attention to the looseness of their breasts, and never sleep on their stomach to prevent squeezing onto their nipples and causing them to collapse.
