how do u fix inverted nipples without a surgery?

by chocobaby, Jul 02, 2009 03:09PM
I started developing breast since i was about twelve everything seemed to be going fine until i was about fourteen i noticed that my nipples were inverted.They pop out whenever i take a bath mainly because i'm cold or something and they also pop out when the time is really cold then it goes back in.I am petite and i am a 32B. The clevage and everything is ok but i dont go to the beach or wear clothes that reveals my nipples or anything because it lies flat almost in a hole or something.I worry about having kids and breastfeeding but when it has been provoked like i often try to pull it out or when my fiance ***** it it stays out for a couple minutes and goes back in.He doesnt really care about it he loves me anyway and im just not comfortable with the way it looks.I didnt tell my mom about it when i was younger because i thought it was normal and as my breast grows it will pop out but i recently turned twenty and i'm beginning to feel their is no hope for my boobs.

Please somebody help me tell me what to do im scared to go to the doctor to check it out to see if it's cancer or something major bad but my fiance thinks that its normal and im not weird just extra special.

Hi, There is nothing we can say to resolve your nipple problem. This is a medical issue and the proper person to evaluate your condition is a doctor. I doubt it is cancer, but why would you want to risk early stages of cancer out of fear of going to a doctor immediately. Try to find a female gyne or have your mother or a friend acompany you for support, this is something that needs to be checked out by a doctor, not a forum...good luck and go get yourself taken care of right away.

This is more common than you think. It's not a medical necessity and the only way (that I have heard of) it can fixed is through plastic surgery.

I have a friend who has the same problem. She was not able to properly breast feed her children. She tried though! The hospital gave her what looked like a big syringe without the needle to suction her nipples out so she could breast feed, but the only thing it did was make her sore and the nipples STILL wouldn't come out. She gave up and bottle fed her babies.
