Inverted Nipples

Q: I am a woman in my 30's and have had inverted nipples all my life. I wonder what causes this condition, and am I in any danger of special health risks? Can this condition be corrected?



A: Inverted nipples are one of those unexplained variations in body parts, like belly buttons that are in or out, that has no health significance. Life-long inverted nipples do not carry any risk for breast cancer or other disease. They may potentially pose a slight problem for the woman who wishes to breast-feed her baby, but there are devices and exercises to overcome this difficulty.

Inverted nipples are perfectly normal. Nipples and breasts come in all shapes and sizes. You could have an operation to change them, but I'd think the scars would be worse. I think a lot of guys would find that attractive ;-)

believe it or not, many men and women have the same issue. I have one inverted nipple, one normal. I have breast fed all of my children without issue despite having an inverted nipple. The worse problem I have ever experiences was trying to keep milk from clogging.

This is called inverted nipples and is not uncommon. So long as they pop out when they are hard you are fine.

They are not considered to be "ingrown", but more of its in a relaxed state, It happens. I wouldn't worry about it, just drink cold beverages.
