Will nipple retraction affect breastfeeding? Nipple retraction is also related to babies

Breasts are an important part of women, not only responsible for breastfeeding, but also play a beautiful role. Breasts also experience abnormalities in daily life, among which nipple retraction is one of them, and its harm must be recognized.

The hazards of nipple retraction

1. The probability of Mastitis and breast tumor increases: the milk of the parturient cannot be discharged smoothly, the milk accumulates in the nipple, which is easy to block the breast tube, and acute Mastitis and breast abscess occur. If the parturient does not breastfeed, the probability of suffering from breast tumor will increase.

2. Affects chest aesthetics: nipple retraction affects chest aesthetics and affects body aesthetics.

3. The possibility of areola and nipple inflammation: The nipple often falls, the nipple cannot be cleaned, secretions and pollutants accumulate on the nipple for a long time, and the nipple areola becomes inflamed. Severe individuals may experience chronic inflammation such as bleeding and erosion.

4. Impact on breastfeeding: Flat, sunken, and everted nipples are not convenient for breastfeeding, and abnormal nipple development, especially sunken nipples, can affect the attraction of newborns and make it difficult to breastfeed normally. In addition, due to inverted nipples, newborns cannot contain nipples and milk cannot be sucked out, making them prone to dehydration. Patients with inverted nipples may experience breast enlargement due to pregnancy, and milk secretion may cause breast enlargement, which can worsen the inverted nipples. Mothers may also give up breastfeeding due to their own reasons

5. Influence on sexual life: The nipple is also one of the female sexual sensitive points, and the stimulation of the nipple can also make women reach Orgasm. The inverted nipple can make it difficult for women to obtain effective sexual stimulation, and even affect the male's sexual desire.

6. Impact on patients' mental health: Women with inverted nipples often feel uneasy, lack confidence, and worry excessively, which seriously affects women's mental health.

Prevention of nipple recession

1. Pulling nipples: If there is nipple retraction in direct relatives such as mothers and aunts, it should be a key prevention target. After birth, mothers can gently lift the baby girl's nipples outward 1-2 times a day for girls with genetic predispositions. The movements should be gentle and gentle, preferably experienced operators, which can effectively prevent nipple retraction.

2. Choose cotton underwear: The clothes you wear must be made of cotton and should be regularly washed and exposed to sunlight. If there are signs of redness or cracks in the nipples, the underwear should be steamed and disinfected, and the bra worn by girls should not be worn too early.
