What is a potentially disruptive effect of breast reduction on breastfeeding?

Increased milk production
Duct disruption
Enhanced breastfeeding experience
Improved latch

The correct answer is: Duct disruption

Breast reduction surgery can involve the removal of breast tissue, which may include milk ducts crucial for milk production and flow during breastfeeding. This disruption of the milk ducts can potentially impair a mother's ability to produce an adequate milk supply or have milk flow efficiently during breastfeeding. This interference with the anatomical structure of the breasts is the reason why duct disruption is a potentially disruptive effect of breast reduction on breastfeeding.
