A member asked:

Will you get breast infection if your partner sucks on your breast?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Mark Pack answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Unlikely: I suppose it is possible to get an infection if nibbling roughly on the breast or nipple breaks the skin. It is unlikely, though not necessarily impossible, to get an infection that way.
