A retracted nipple is a nipple that turns inward instead of outward, except when stimulated. This type of nipple is sometimes referred to as an inverted nipple
What does it mean when your nipple retracts?
It is caused by tight connective tissue or other problems with the ductal system connected to the nipple. Although many people have inverted or retracted nipples since birth, they can also occur late in life. That is known as acquired nipple inversion or retraction.
Why does one of my nipples go inward?
An inverted or retracted nipple is often congenital, meaning it has been present since birth. This can occur in both females and males. In most cases, it affects both sides. It results from tight connective tissue or issues with the ductal system connecting to the nipple.
