What happens during the disease - atrophy of breast

Atrophy of the breast is a condition in which the breast tissue becomes thin and loses its normal size and shape due to a decrease in the amount of fat and glandular tissue. this can be caused by a number of factors, such as hormonal changes, aging, breastfeeding, weight loss, smoking, and certain medications. in some cases, atrophy of the breast can be caused by a decrease in the production of estrogen, which is responsible for maintaining the normal size and shape of the breast.
