Referring to your previous posts, I don't feel obliged in answering your questions in detail... hence I will restrict my answer to one that being of br.east cancer that grows from the insides of the br.east and encroach on the fibers that hold the nipple in its position. Once the tumor is fixed to the underlying fascial sheaths or muscles underneath (pectoralis major), the nipples will be pulled inwards (taut), depicting the inversion of nipples.
This is the common cause.
Though there may be other causes such as hereditary... -
Symptoms of a B* cancer?

Hardly any... once it develops, it is too late...Originally posted by maggot:Symptoms of a B* cancer?
But the only single symptom is a painless lump...
You may also noticed other constitutional symptoms such as loss of weight, loss of appetite and early morning vomiting.
The lump usually progresses to become larger over time, and without adequate assessment and intervention, it may burst to form an ulcer, which might be too late, and requires a total removal of the whole br.east affected. -

There are certain methods to help her massage her own nipples when she is pregnant. There is nothing much to be worried about here as there are certain people who do have this condition.Originally posted by virce:Dear Doctor Reno, my galfriend is only 21years old and she has inverted nipples, does that mean she cant b.reast feed her baby next time?
The nurses (midwives) will instruct them on these steps to gently press on the sides (areola) to allow the nipples to evert and to repeat this every time whenever she has her own time of privacy. This is the cheapest method, although there are br.east shields. Excessive stimulation of the nipples can also indirectly stimulate your uterus and lead to contraction (as both will cause the release of the hormone oxytocin which has its impact on both the br.east tissues and the uterus). This is only dangerous if one has a high risk during pregnancy.
