What to do if a man has inverted nipples?

People have always only paid attention to women's breast health problems, but have neglected the health of men. In fact, breast health hazards are not only suffered by women, but also by men. Therefore, when various dangerous hazards occur, we need to find a way to solve the problem as soon as possible. So what should men do if they have inverted nipples?

According to clinical observation, this phenomenon is mostly congenital malformation, but there are also acquired reasons, such as nipple breast infection (mastitis), traumatic tumor surgery (after giant breast reduction surgery). Congenital nipple inversion is often caused by poor development of smooth muscles in the nipple and areola. The nipple contains the openings of 10-20 mammary ducts. The mammary ducts are surrounded by smooth muscles extending from the areola muscles, and the smooth muscles extend to the dermis of the nipple, causing these muscle bundles to be pulled inward. Some nipple inversions are also caused by incomplete development of mammary ducts, which fail to duct and are pulled as a solid cord, and some are caused by lack of supporting tissue deep in the nipple.

The first category: Partially inverted nipples have a nipple neck that can be easily squeezed out, and the size of the nipple after squeezing out is similar to that of normal people. The second category: The nipple is completely sunken into the areola, but the nipple can be squeezed out by hand. The nipple is smaller than normal and most of the time there is no nipple neck; the third category: The nipple is completely buried under the areola and cannot be squeezed out.

The second type: Partially inverted nipples exist in the neck of the nipple and can be easily squeezed out. After squeezing out, the nipple size is similar to that of normal people. The second type of nipples are completely inverted. Mildly inverted nipples in men can be treated conservatively first. Wash with warm water twice a day, and then gently pull the inverted nipples outwards. Do not pull too hard to avoid damaging the nipples. You can also gently pull it outwards when rubbing the nipples in the shower. Repeated pulling can make the nipples protrude.

Category 3: If the male nipple retraction cannot be restored by pulling, negative pressure suction or surgery may be performed. Different treatment methods are used for different nipple retractions. For mild nipple retraction, if multiple suctions using negative pressure suction and other physical therapy methods still cannot correct the nipple retraction, surgery can be performed.

Through the detailed introduction of what to do with men's inverted nipples in the above article, I hope it will be helpful to male friends. Although male friends' nipples are relatively small, their role cannot be underestimated. Only by ensuring breast health can we reduce or avoid the invasion and harm of various diseases. Ensuring health is a must.
