When it comes to nipples, what's normal?

 

Check these out, too...

  • Could I have Huge Boob Syndrome?
  • Turning 16--but I don't want to grow up
  • I'm only 13--why did my breasts stop growing?
  • Do guys only care about chest size?
  • Do these blue veins on my boobs mean I'm sick or something?
This is really embarrassing, but is having inward nipples normal? Do I have to get surgery or something?

 

Nipples are kind of like belly buttons. They can be “innies” or “outies.” Although you don’t hear about them much, inverted nipples are actually fairly common. Girls and guys can have them, and it can affect one or both or your nipples.
 

So what’s the cause? There are actually a number of factors that contribute to the way your nipples look. Two common causes of inverted nipples are scar tissue and a shorter milk duct. Both draw the nipple back instead of letting it stick out.

The biggest problem a severe case of inverted nipples can cause involves breastfeeding—and we’re betting (and hoping) that’s far from your mind right now.
 
While you can get surgery to “fix” your nipples, it’s painful and usually unnecessary. There’s no reason to be worried unless this inversion is a very sudden, recent occurrence, or you’re experiencing pain. If you are concerned, though, it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor. It never hurts to make sure you’re healthy!

mod mod mod mod so, i have the exact opposite problem...my nipples stick out so you can see them through my bra sometimes...I've heard they do that when it is cold outside, but mine do it when the temps 95 degrees! a more padded bra? but what about sports bras? help! thanks!!!

 

Sometimes, it happens for no reason at all. Give it some time and it should subside

justadream11, Hi I know how you feel. You want that person to end up having etnernal life when they die. What you could do is take them to a church function not necessarily church, maybe a youth game night or lock in. Ask an adult at the event to talk to your friend, and sorry the mod didn't help much but when that person dies you want them to live eternaly! Smile

hey mod,
well my boobs are so so but are they supposed to be big by now and am i supposed to have my period by now ? i didnt have it yet. Frown




Hey babe! You're still really young. It could be a couple of years before your body changes. It's different for everyone, no body is the same. If you have small boobs, that's totally fine too. You should embrace the body you have, and don't worry, you're period will come soon enough and once it's here you'll wish it wasn't. xoxo!

How do I get someone to go to church? i really want to but he isn't responding to any thing i say about it. how do i tell the athiest how church will really change you?




Hey babe! Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. Church isn't for everyone and you should try to understand that not everyone believes what you believe and you can't force them too. You shouldn't try to change a person, you should accept them for who they are. xoxo
