Hello. With the question "The nipple is slightly inward, how can I let it out? “Please advise as follows: Currently, there are many methods to treat inverted nipples such as plastic surgery, using a suction device or treating it at home. You can use Hoffman's technique to self-treat inverted nipples at home. This is a manual exercise at home to bring the nipple out. The steps are as follows:
Place 2 thumbs on either side of the base of the nipple of one breast. Press 2 thumbs firmly into the breast tissue and gently separate 2 fingers away from the base of the nipple. Do the same with the other breast. Do this movement 5 minutes / time with each breast and 2 times / day. This will cause the nipple to point outward. If necessary, ask your doctor for advice and detailed instructions on this technique.
Note: Do not rub the nipple continuously in pregnant women because it can cause increased uterine contractions, leading to premature delivery, unless directed by a doctor. If inverted nipples make you feel self-conscious or worried that you can't breastfeed, or if your nipples are inverted with other abnormalities in your breasts, visit a specialist medical facility for an examination. . You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice from doctors.
