Introduction
Breast indentation may refer to inverted nipples. Inverted nipples may be associated with congenital underdevelopment, improper clothing, trauma, mastopathy, mastitis, and other factors. Treatment options may include manual stretching, selecting appropriate undergarments, avoiding trauma, suction therapy, and surgical intervention. In daily life, it is important to regularly clean the breast and nipple area and maintain local dryness and cleanliness.
Breast indentation may refer to inverted nipples. Inverted nipples may be related to congenital underdevelopment, improper clothing, trauma, mastopathy, mastitis, and other factors. Treatments may involve manual stretching, choosing appropriate undergarments, avoiding trauma, suction therapy, or surgery. The analysis is as follows:
1. Congenital underdevelopment: Underdevelopment of the乳头's smooth muscles, shortening of the mammary ducts, and fibrosis or contraction of certain tissues may prevent the nipple from protruding normally outward. Regular manual massage and stretching of the nipple can stimulate breast tissue and surrounding ligaments, helping to improve blood circulation and increase breast elasticity, thus alleviating nipple inversion.
2. Improper clothing: Prolonged wearing of tight undergarments or chest binders during breast development may affect normal breast development, leading to nipple inversion. It is recommended to wear appropriately sized, loose, and comfortable undergarments to avoid excessive pressure on the breasts, which could hinder normal nipple development.
3. Trauma: Injury to the breast area may damage breast tissue, resulting in scar formation that pulls the nipple inward. Regular cleaning of the breast and nipple area, maintaining dryness and cleanliness, can help prevent infections and related issues.
4. Mastopathy: Mastopathy is a common benign breast condition characterized mainly by hyperplasia of breast tissue and ductal dilation. It may also cause symptoms such as breast pain and nipple discharge, which sometimes coexist with nipple inversion. Using devices like nipple correctors or breast pumps can apply negative pressure suction to help the nipple protrude outward. When necessary, medications such as Hongjin Xiaojie Capsules, Ruxi Ling Capsules, and Runing Tablets may be used according to medical advice.
5. Mastitis: Mastitis is an inflammatory condition of the breast tissue usually caused by bacterial infection. During the inflammatory process, breast tissue may swell and become congested, exerting pressure on the nipple and causing it to invert. Prompt medical treatment with medications such as Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules, Cefixime Dispersible Tablets, and Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets should be followed as prescribed. Patients for whom nipple inversion severely affects aesthetics or breastfeeding function may consider surgical treatment, such as nipple inversion correction surgery.
In daily life, it is important to regularly clean the breast and nipple areas, keeping them dry and hygienic to prevent infections and other complications.
