What Is The Cause Of Inverted Nipples?
There are a couple of reasons why you might have an inverted nipple:
- The milk duct being too short and or too tight. This is because the traction is disproportionate between the tissue and the smooth muscle, which keeps the nipple erect.
- Too much connective tissue in the nipple.
- Finally, inverted nipples can be due to genetics,lactation, or, pregnancy, or they could even be caused by trauma.
