Causes of congenital inverted breasts

Congenital inverted breast actually refers to inverted nipple. The degree of inverted nipple is different and the condition will be different. The more serious one is that the nipple is completely sunken and cannot move out from the areola. This will cause great difficulties for women to breastfeed in the future. In addition, inverted nipple will affect the overall appearance of the breast, easily harbor dirt and cause inflammation, so it must be treated in time.

Causes of congenital inverted breasts

The occurrence of inverted nipple is generally caused by congenital development, shortening of mammary ducts, fibrosis and contracture of some tissues, and hypoplasia of nipple smooth muscle. Among them, mammary duct shortening and tissue fibrosis and contracture are the main causes of nipple inversion. Secondary nipple inversion (acquired nipple inversion) is caused by the nipple being pulled by pathological tissue in the breast or compressed by a bra or breast binder. It is often seen in diseases such as inflammation and tumors, which invade the ducts, ligaments, fascia of the breast and cause the invaded ducts, ligaments, and fascia to contract. Unreasonable breast binding or wearing too tight bras occurs in adolescence. Due to tight breasts and poor blood circulation, it causes breast hypoplasia and inverted nipples.

Treatment methods 1. Manual traction Adolescence is an important period for breast development and also an important period for correcting inverted nipples. Regularly pulling the nipples can make them protrude, stretch and lengthen the mammary ducts, fiber cords and smooth muscles, and the nipples will naturally bulge outward gradually. But this requires a long time and gradual progress to achieve good results. 2. The working principle of suction therapy is similar to that of manual traction. Through the negative pressure suction device, the inverted nipple is pulled to achieve the purpose of lengthening the mammary ducts and fiber cords.
