What is inverted nipple?

All human beings have nipples on their breasts/chests. A nipple is that part of the body through which milk from the mother is given to her baby. They generally point out and this is the most common type. But out of all the people almost about 15 to 20 percent people have inverted nipple. It can be for females as well as for males. The inverted nipple is the one which instead of protruding out is retracted into the breast.

This is not so common but yes a lot of people have it. There is a misconception that there is a problem in breast feeding for mothers if they have inverted nipple but it is not so. When the baby sucks it they protrude out for a while and then set back inside. f still one does not want to go on with these, then she can get a surgery done in order to get the normal nipples. In the beginning for the new mothers there may be some pain in the nipples when they protrude out on sucking or during pregnancy, but this pain is temporary.

There are no complications in breast feeding with the inverted nipple. Though the surgery is a way to get the nipples to protrude, but this may render the female to destroy her competence to breast feed the baby forever. Another method of protruding the inverted nipple is to get it pierced, the piercing will make it protrude for a short time but the piece of ornament there will prevent it from getting back inside the breast.

But the studies say that there may be side effects of this method too. The best way is to let the body way it is. Inverted nipple is not a disease nor will it lead to any problem. So, let it remain the way it is naturally.
