Causes of inverted nipples in girls

Nipples are an important symbol of women, and firm nipples are the pride of women. However, if abnormalities occur in this area, it can deal a serious blow to women's self-confidence. What is the reason if a female friend’s nipples become inverted? Let’s take a look at what the experts have to say about this. I hope this can help everyone understand this phenomenon scientifically.

Nipple inversion can be divided into congenital and acquired types. Congenital nipple malformation; acquired nipples are mostly caused by wearing bras too early or wearing bras that are too tight during puberty, which causes the nipples to shrink and be compressed, fail to develop, and even atrophy. Inflammatory contracture can also cause nipple retraction.

Nipple inversion can be divided into three types: true nipple inversion, inverted nipple, and false nipple inversion. If the nipple is sunken under the breast canopy and does not come out when pulled, it is called inverted nipple; if the nipple turns inward and cannot be pulled out, it is called inverted nipple; if it is on the same plane as the breast skin but cannot be erected, it is called flat nipple, also known as pseudo-inverted nipple. The above types of inverted nipples are caused by poor development of the smooth muscles of the nipple and areola, and the shorter mammary ducts in the nipple, which results in the nipple being unable to protrude.

There are four main hazards of a retracted nipple: first, the nipple is deeply sunken in the skin of the areola, and the local depression cannot be washed for a long time, and the secretions and pollutants cannot be removed, emitting a foul odor, which can easily cause inflammation of the nipple and areola, and even bleeding and erosion, forming a chronic inflammation; second, the nipple cannot be exposed, the mother cannot breastfeed, and the baby cannot suck out milk, which affects the baby's development; third, the mother's milk discharge is not smooth, which can lead to blockage of the milk ducts and milk accumulation, and is prone to acute mastitis and breast abscesses. If the mother never breastfeeds, it may also increase the chance of breast tumors; fourth, a retracted nipple damages the beauty of women's breasts and loses their proper curves. Therefore, inverted nipple needs to be actively prevented and treated.

After the above introduction, I believe that many friends who have doubts about girls' retracted nipples will be more clear about what this phenomenon is. I hope the above introduction can help everyone better understand the physical symptoms of this disease. The editor recommends that once you find abnormal symptoms in your body, especially female friends, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to receive formal treatment.
