Nipple Piercing Issues @ Jewel Info 4 U
By: Shalina Khemlani
Introduction to Nipple Piercing
Nipple piercing pertains to a
piercing which is generally done
around the center at the almost flat
base of the nipple. Nipple piercing
could possibly be done in any given
angle; however it is generally
recommended to get it done either
horizontally or, vertically.
Moreover, there is a high
possibility to even get a multiple
piercing on top of the one that you
already have on and hence the name
multiple piercing is given. Nipple
piercing takes the most time to
heal. It could be anytime from three
to six months depending on how well
you have taken care of it. There are
quite a few people who have also
complained of the healing process
extending beyond a year and a half
to heal up to its optimum.
A few general issues
Apprehensive about rejection
 The nipple doesn't seem that fleshy
but as a matter of fact it is quite
enough to pierce steadily and most
importantly firmly behind ample of
skin in order to avert rejection. On
the other hand, if the jewelry weigh
is way too thin or if you feel that
the piercing doesn't have an
adequate amount of depth then there
could possibly be a risk of
rejection.
Metal allergies
There is also a very high
possibility of the metal allergies
that could cause it to reject.
Troubles with infectivity or too
much pulling and hauling on it,
could also be one of the cause of
rejection.
Frequent re- piercing
Using a piercing professional and
good body piercing aftercare is
mandatory. It is observed in quite a
few cases that frequent re-piercing
has damaged the nipple and has
caused severe complications which
could go beyond a considerable level
on certain occasions.
Nipple piercing and
breastfeeding
Out of the whole lot of women, who
get their nipple pierced or
contemplating nipple piercing have a
huge concern with regards to the
impact that nipple piercing would
have on breastfeeding. Till date
there is absolutely no verification
of facts that suggest that correct
nipple piercing can cause any
difficulty or any sort of hurdle
with lactation.
However, there have been quite a few
cases that have been reported of
women under going several
complications involving
breastfeeding with a piercing on.
Other severe complication could be
poor latch, slurping, choking, and
milk leaking from the baby's mouth.
The baby sucking the ends on a
barbell can possibly come loose may
also run through the baby's throat.
There are also high chances of the
baby's gums and tongue as well as
the soft and hard palate getting
hurt by the piece of jewelry. Hence
it is suggested that one should take
off the piece of jewelry before the
required nursing.
It is also highly advisable to let
the piercing go through a complete
process of getting entirely healed
before breastfeeding. There are
several piercing professionals who
generally are against the system of
piercing a pregnant woman. The
reason being it causes tremendous
stress on the body that could
probably make matters worse during a
pregnancy.
Healing & Soreness
 After the piercing is done, one of
the main issues is with regards to
the healing process. Most of us are
also quite petrified and cynical
about it getting infected or any
kind of soreness. The healing
process may be slow or quick varying
on the size and weight of your
breasts. Women with small breasts
would actually face comparatively
less issues than those with heavier
breasts. It is quite possible for
the piercing to get stuck or caught
in between things through natural
movement.
If you think you have a sensitive
skin and there are high chances of
the nipples getting sore during the
healing process, try an ice pack.
For many people it has worked like
wonders. However if you cant grab
your hands on an ice pack, you could
even settle for a package of small
frozen vegetables like peas or corn
which can also prove to be quite
beneficial. They might sound a
little immature and stupid but there
is some of the most highly suggested
techniques of treatment for
puffed-up and inflated
breast-feeding mothers.
Care
Ensure that your hands are clean
i.e. free from bacteria before
touching your piercing. Getting the
nipple piercing cleaned while you
are having a shower is the most
ideal time. This will let clean
water to run over and wet through
the nipple piercing before you even
start to wash it.
While cleaning, rotate the jewelry
back and forth (i.e. only if it is
completely healed) to get the soap
inside the piercing itself and also
so that the piece of jewelry does
not get stiff.
It is important that you pat the
piercing dry. Make sure your
movement is gentle and not rough.
Rubbing against the nipple piercing
might lead to a high probability of
it getting ripped off. Hence after a
bath smoothly and mildly dry it with
a dry cleaned towel or clean it with
any similar paper product.
Hence, keep in mind that it is
always suggested that any piercing
and especially nipple piercing
requires a lot of attention and good
care. This would first of all lead
to prevent infection and secondly
the healing process would be of a
shorter duration than otherwise.
