Hurt my nipples causing inversion.
Hi I was doing some heavy lifting at work and I did something to my nipple, not sure specifically what, and it caused my nipple to be hard under the skin, have a lumpy appearance, and invert. I was wondering if anyone knows what could have happened to it and if there is a way to fix this without going to the hospital. I take a degree of pride in my body and this is a slight confidence decreaser, especially since my fellow military men give me a hard time about it, please help. Thanks have a nice one.

Since your inverted nipple is one sided and you were not born with it then it does require a little investigation to rule out breast cancer. This is unlikely but far too important to ignore.
Hi,
Hope by now your problem must have got solved naturally. The heavy lifting must have overly stretched the breast tissues causing the nipple to invert. The nipple should go back to its normal state once the tesion on the tissues is relaxed. Massaging the breast tissues with some warm oil or any muscle relaxing ointment could speed up the restoration process. However if the situation still continues or if you feel pain or swelling in the area, you need to consult a doctor.
If the problem got restored naturally, make sure that you do not stress these tissues for some time to avoid a repeat incidence.
