The breast nipple is the center most point of the areola of the breast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In most women the dome is turned outward, if pulled in it’s termed inverted or retracted, but they are technically different conditions. One that is retracted is specifically ‘drawn’ inward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are born with one or the other inverted, this will likely persist, and not be a sign of any breast issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One or both the nipples may be inverted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is a sudden change to your nipple configuration it could be a sign of infection, cancer, or other underlying process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some surgical removals of masses can lead to nipple inversion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most women with nipple inversions will not need any evaluation or treatment, but everyone with this condition should discuss with your gynecologist. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
