Hi my 31 yr old daughter has had an inverted nipple for the last nine months,she did mention it to a nurse at her doctor’s surgery but the nurse showed no interest. Over the last couple of months the same breast has grown larger and has changed position dramatically. now she has discharge from the inverted nipple. i persuaded her finally to see her g.p. yesterday who can find no lumps but is referring her to a specialist. Has anyone else suffered these symptoms.

Hi genna - sorry to hear that you and your daughter are going through this worry and hope that everything turns out okay…
I developed a hot pink breast in May 2008 with an inverted nipple and unfortunatly that turned out to be something called inflamatory breast cancer… but on the day i went to clinic the consultant did say that sometimes cysts can also pull the nipple in…
Earlier this year i suddenly developed an inverted nipple on the other side and obviously feared the worst… but that turned out to be a benign condition called duct ectasia… so please do take hope that there are simple benign conditions that can cause this to happen…

Definitely get it checked out and don’t allow anyone to fob your daughter off with disinterest. My wife had an inverted nipple and had to fight pretty hard with her local surgery to get referred to the breast clinic at our local hospital. Unfortunately her bc had already spread but an early diagnosis is always crucial.

Yes definitely get it checked out. I suddenly developed an inverted nipple aged 55 nearly two years ago. I was dx with lobular bc which had spread to lymph nodes.
