Is my husband's inverted nipple hereditary?

I've heard that women are troubled by inverted nipples, because it indicates poor development and may even cause problems when breastfeeding their children in the future. However, this is the first time I've heard of inverted nipples in men. Whether inverted nipples are hereditary or not can only be determined through examination. Let's take a look at the introduction to inverted nipples.

Inverted nipple is a common disease among women. The most common causes of inverted nipples are:

1. Clothing is too tight. Especially for women during the period of breast development, if their underwear is too tight, it can easily lead to inverted nipples.

2. Improper use of bra. A bra that is too small, too tight, or used too early can cause inverted nipples. Inverted nipples are also related to genetics. Clinical observations show that if the mother and her maternal or grandmother has a history of inverted nipples, the next generation is more likely to suffer from inverted nipples than normal people.

The dangers of inverted nipples are very serious

1. It hinders bodybuilding and affects breastfeeding.

2. Due to inverted nipples, they are often forcibly pulled out during breastfeeding. At this time, the nipples are very delicate. Once collided, they are easily damaged, ruptured and bleed, which can cause infection of the nipples and even the entire breast, and eventually mastitis.

3. Nipples are very important sexual sensitive points for women, and the sexual desire of many women is achieved through nipple stimulation. Once the nipples are inverted, it is difficult to provide effective sexual stimulation and may even affect the man's sexual desire. There are ways to correct and treat inverted nipples, but the key is prevention.

The nipple does not protrude but is sunken inward, which is called inverted nipple. The degree of nipple inversion varies from person to person. In mild cases, the nipple may only be flat or retracted to varying degrees. The nipple may bulge out or be squeezed out after stimulation. In severe cases, the nipple is completely sunken into the areola and cannot be pulled out, forming a crater shape, and is often accompanied by secretions or odor. Even if the inverted nipple is squeezed out, it is generally smaller, often without an obvious nipple neck, and appears split. The incidence of inverted nipples in women is 1% to 2%, usually bilaterally but may occur on only one side. The degree of nipple inversion may be inconsistent. Inverted nipples affect the appearance of the breasts. In addition, since inverted nipples can accumulate dirt or grease, causing infection or odor, what is more serious is that inverted nipples make it difficult for babies to suck milk and lose the breastfeeding function. The depth of inverted nipple varies and can be divided into three degrees: 1. The first degree is partial inverted nipple, with the nipple neck existing and can be easily squeezed out. After squeezing out, the nipple is similar in size to that of normal people; 2. The second degree is that the nipple is completely sunken into the areola, but it can be squeezed out by hand. The nipple is smaller than normal and usually has no nipple neck; 3. The third degree is that the nipple is completely buried under the areola and the inverted nipple cannot be squeezed out.
