What to do if a boy has inverted nipples

Many parents are worried about their baby's inverted nipples, especially because they are afraid that it will affect the normal development of their children's bodies. And it is not only girls who have the phenomenon of inverted nipples, some boys may also experience this condition. Some inverted nipples in boys are only temporary and will recover slowly on their own, but for some boys, inverted nipples are more serious. So, what should we do if our baby boy has inverted nipples?

1. In most cases, this phenomenon of inverted nipples is normal, because some little boys' nipples simply have not grown well, and for some children it is temporary. This is directly related to the child's development. Your son's inverted nipple condition probably means that the development time has not yet arrived. Logically, he should have to wait until he is 13 or 14 years old to fully grow out. So no treatment is needed for the time being.

2. Secondly, when you help your child clean his breasts every day, you can use both hands to pull the boy's nipples slightly outwards. You can pull them for about 3 to 5 minutes each time! If you persist in doing this every day, I believe that the boy's inverted nipples will gradually improve in the future.

3. If the boy's nipple retraction is very serious and other general methods cannot solve it, you should consider going to a professional plastic surgery hospital for surgery. This fast and safe surgery can completely solve the problem of nipple retraction in boys.

Note:

Make sure to help your child pull for 3-5 minutes every day, I believe it will be effective. If the inverted nipple is very serious and cannot be solved by general methods, you should go to a professional plastic surgery hospital for surgery. This is a fast and safe formal method that can completely solve the problem of inverted nipples.

Causes of inverted nipples

The causes of inverted nipple can be caused by primary and secondary factors, among which the incidence of primary factors is higher than that of secondary factors. Primary nipple inversion is a breast developmental deformity that usually occurs bilaterally. It occurs mainly in the late stage of nipple development, when the ectoderm at the base of the nipple bud forms a nipple dimple. Later, the development of the hyperplastic mesenchyme of the breast stagnates, leading to nipple inversion. Secondary nipple inversion is mainly caused by the nipple being pulled by pathological tissue in the breast, making it difficult for the nipple to protrude.

1. Causes of primary inverted nipple

(1) Hypoplasia of the smooth muscles of the nipple and areola. Under normal circumstances, the nipple has 15 to 20 lactiferous duct openings, which are surrounded by smooth muscle fibers. Due to developmental factors, the nipple is surrounded by muscle fiber bundles that surround the lactiferous ducts and insert into the nipple dermis and are directed inward.

(2) Lactiferous duct hypoplasia: Lactiferous duct is the main indicator of nipple development. If the lactiferous duct is hypoplastic, it will be difficult for the nipple to form cord-like shape.

(3) Hypoplasia of the nipple base: The nipple base plays an important role in supporting the nipple. If this part is poorly developed, the nipple will be difficult to support and will be inverted.

2. The main cause of secondary nipple inversion

This situation is mainly seen in the inward retraction caused by breast tumors, inflammation, trauma or scar traction after breast surgery, or sagging of huge breasts.
