Will the breasts be different sizes after weaning if the baby only eats from one side?

Patient's question:

Patient Gender: Female. Because one nipple is inverted, I have been using a breast pump to express milk for the past few months. There is no significant difference between the two breasts. In the past month, I haven't used the breast pump, so one breast has very little milk now. The size difference between the two breasts is now quite noticeable. Will the size difference be the same after weaning? Will it look very unattractive? Or is it just that one breast has more milk now, making it appear larger, and the difference won't be as obvious after weaning? With very little milk in one breast now, will it be too late for the baby to suckle?

Doctor's answer:

Yes. It's recommended that you eat both sides... The occurrence of inverted nipples not only affects women's lives but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to undergo a routine check-up in the gynecology department of the hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
