If a pregnant woman has inverted nipples, she will feel distressed and afraid that it will affect breastfeeding after giving birth.

Let's take a look at what to do if a pregnant woman has inverted nipples.

What to do if pregnant women have inverted breasts

After pregnancy, due to the increase of estrogen and progesterone in the body, the breast ducts and alveoli begin to develop, the breasts become larger and softer, the areola becomes colored, and the nipples become easier to erect. Therefore, pregnancy is a good time to correct and improve inverted nipples. If the problem of inverted nipples can be discovered in time after pregnancy and effective corrective measures are taken under the guidance of medical staff, the problem of inverted nipples can still be greatly improved.

【Pulling method】

When you find that your nipples are inverted, you should use your fingers to gently pull the inverted nipples outward every morning and evening. While stretching, gently massage the nipple with your thumb or index finger for 5-10 minutes each time.

【Extrusion method】

Use a smaller bra or a 10 cm wide strip of cloth to make a nipple-sized hole at the nipple position. Put on the bra or cloth to push the nipple outward. Do this for a while and the inverted nipple will become prominent. You can also put a walnut shell or a small porcelain wine glass on the nipple, wear a bra, and apply pressure for a period of time, and the nipple will become protruding.

[Negative pressure method]

You can use a syringe outer sleeve to put it around the nipple, or you can use a small wine cup to hold the nipple and press it tightly with a cloth tape, or use a cupping jar to suck outwards, or you can use a flattened plastic cup and then put it around the nipple. Even if you let go, there will be suction, which also has the effect of cupping. After a woman becomes pregnant, she should use a breast pump to suck the nipples several times a day, using the negative pressure to cause the nipples to bulge.

Pregnant women with inverted nipples are very dangerous

First of all, inverted nipples hinder bodybuilding and affect breastfeeding. Inverted or inverted nipples can make it difficult for babies to breastfeed because they cannot hold the nipple and cannot suck out the milk, causing milk to accumulate inside and making the baby more susceptible to mastitis.

Secondly, due to inverted nipples, they are often pulled out forcibly during breastfeeding. At this time, the nipples are very delicate. Once too much force is used, they are very likely to rupture and bleed, which can cause infection in the nipples and even the entire breast.

In addition, nipples are very important sexual sensitive points for women, and the sexual desire of many women is achieved through nipple stimulation. Once the nipples are inverted, it is difficult to provide effective sexual stimulation and may even affect the man's sexual desire.

Therefore, if the retracted nipple is not corrected in time, it will often leave hidden dangers to the health of the breastfeeding mother and baby as well as the future married life, which should not be taken lightly.
