Nipples No Longer Get Erect, Is There Anything I Can Do?

Any person who develops new nipple inversion should see their primary care physician to check that there is no sinister reason for the inversion - new nipple inversion can be a sign of a tumour so firstly and most importantly please have a check up with your doctor and an ultrasound/mammogram to check that your breasts are healthy.

Once you're sure that all is fine with your breast tissue, then where to?

If the problem is scar tissue you may find improvement with a discrete suction device. The Avent Nipplette is worn for a few hours a day and can stretch out scar tissue or shortened breast ducts. Surgery may be of assistance but if your nipples can still get erect for a few seconds then there's a good chance non-surgical treatment will help.
