What do you do when the professional pierces threw your milk duct causes infection having to have 2 surgery and a year later still have problems?
Well, all professional piercers will pierce through the milk ducts, every nipple is diffrent and some nipples have several ducts and some have a centralized main duct and the other ducts connect deeper in the nipple and areola. If you still have the piercings and havent changed the jewellery or removed it all together from the nipple, that would be a good place to start. Nipple infections in nipple piercing are rare, very rare infact. The aftercare routeen has to be followed and routeen cleaning is required every time you bathe or shower. Staph infections are very common when oral contact occures to unhealed nipple piercings, so cleaning the piercings after oral contact is very important. Failure to keep them cleaned will lead to repeat infections.

Should a nipple piercing be directly in the center of the nipple or is it all right to have the piercing just below the center?
Male or Female it doesn't really matter too much. I like to stay centered as much a possible this allows the nipple to *enhance evenly without developing a droop, all nipples *enhance once they have been pierced ( * they get slightly bigger in diameter ). Some piercers think if you go just below center you can avoid damaging milk ducts in the case of female nipple piercings, this however doesn't matter, the body will clear a path for the ducts regardless of the piercing should lactation be needed.
I have had my nipple ring in for about 1 year and 2 months. I am 13 weeks pregnant. Will a nipple ring harm the unborn child while pregnant or breastfeeding?
== == There is no risk to you or the baby from your nipple ring as long as you maintain a normal hygiene routine. Many pierced mothers say that there is no need to take the ring out while breast feeding as it has no adverse effect on the baby's ability to 'latch on' and it is less stressful to the mother and the piercing to leave it in place. Keep it clean and you will have no problems. The female nipple has many milk ducts and the piercing just acts as additional paths for the flow - if it is already well-established, as in your case, the ducts will have settled down, so there is a very small chance that it will act as a path for infection. Many women find that their bodies heal better during pregnancy, due to the hormonal changes, so this would be a good time to have the other nipple pierced to match the first one. Talk to your piercer.
