Common "Injury To The Nipples" queries answered by top doctors | iCliniq

Injury To The Nipples

An injury to the nipples is very common during breastfeeding. Nipples can also be injured when someone accidentally pulls or during intense exercise. If the injury is mild, then it heals with proper care, but in case if the nipple is damaged completely or removed, then it cannot grow back. Some of the minor nipple injuries include chafing, fissures, or tears, which usually heals over time with proper care. Serious nipple injuries include nipple removal during breast cancer surgery.
