What are the causes of breast atrophy after breastfeeding?

Breasts are one of the most important organs for women, especially for postpartum women. The role of breasts is well known because they are a necessary tool for breastfeeding. Generally speaking, the breasts of women will increase during lactation, which is mainly related to the secretion of milk. However, after breastfeeding, some women's breasts will shrink. What is the reason?

From the perspective of Western medicine, the main reason for breast atrophy after breastfeeding is that women will increase their estrogen levels after pregnancy. Under the action of hormones such as progesterone and placental lactogen, the breasts of expectant mothers will become fuller and rounder. After the expectant mother gives birth, the pituitary prolactin is no longer suppressed, the mother will begin to secrete milk, and the estrogen will gradually decrease. Various reasons will suppress the function of the ovaries. Therefore, at this time, the breasts of postpartum mothers will begin to shrink.

After the mother finishes breastfeeding, the ovarian function of women will generally recover quickly. However, some women may experience breast atrophy due to a prolonged breastfeeding period or poor ovarian function, which may slow the recovery of ovarian function. In addition, during breastfeeding, women's bodies consume more energy, the fat tissue in their bodies will be reduced a lot, their bodies will become thinner, and their sex life will not be very harmonious, which will also affect their breasts and cause breast atrophy.
