inverted nipple

by natty1975, Sep 22, 2009 04:09PM
hi, i have had an inverted nipple on my left side as long as i can remember. i did unsuccessfully try to breast feed my son when he was born 8 yrs ago. my nipple quite often has a smelly discharge and has over the last couple of ays become very painful. it is about a week after my period now so could that contribute to the pain? i also get cyst like lumps on my nipple occasionally.

The inverted nipple if you have had it for years would not be related to breast cancer but the other symptoms may be related to a ductal problem. I suggest that you see your Dr. for a clinical breast exam and possibly some other type of testing. Treatment is certainly available for such conditions.     Regards .....
