Hi,

Shrinking of breast after lactation can be due to reduction in size of milk secreting glands after weaning a child. It can be also due to fall in body weight and loss of fat along with muscle wasting. Similarly hormonal imbalance can be basic cause can affect even menstrual cycle. You need a detailed physical examination and needful investigations to pin point the cause and get specific treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
