Causes of inversion of nipples
Most cases of cavernous nipple are a fetal defect from birth, but it appears only when reaching puberty and the completion of breast growth.
Also, the large number of breastfeeding may be the cause of the inverted nipple.
Sometimes obesity may lead to sagging breasts, which in turn leads to turning the nipple inward.
Sagging and sagging breasts with age.
In the event of surgery on the breast nipple or the surrounding dark area (as in cases of breast augmentation or breast reduction), surgical scars formed may cause the nipple to bounce back inside, and the inverted nipple injury.
An inverted nipple may be one of the primary signs of breast cancer, especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as itching or secretions from the breast.
The first degree: the cavernous nipples that arise by simply pressing the dark area around them (the areola), and remain prominent for a period of time. An inverted nipple of the first degree does not contradict breastfeeding at all.
The second degree: the cavernous nipples that hardly arise when pressing on the areola region, and bounce back as soon as the pressure effect is gone. Most cases interfere with breastfeeding.
The third degree: It is the cavernous nipples that do not respond at all to the effect of pressure and are usually accompanied by the presence of fibrosis or contraction of the lactic ducts. All cases interfere with breastfeeding.
