Where did my breasts go?

I experienced the same weight/muscle loss issues post menopause and then to top it all off my breasts have now really gotten smaller?

I had always had a small B cup but they were quite firm and pert and then one morning I woke up and went what the hell has happened?

It was so weird like all of a sudden any bulk they had just vanished and my bra is empty.

Did any one else experience this?

    Hi menomel,

    Lack of estrogen. Estrogen is what kept them perky through the years along with all kinds of other tissues. This is why women start having vaginal issues too. Loss of estrogen starts thinning the vaginal walls opening the door to more problems such as soreness, lack of lubrication and UTI's. Replenish the good estrogen helps all these issues.

    Its such an exhausting process no one prepares you for, I literally thought your periods stop, you get some hot flushes and thats it. I had no idea that every part of your body suffers. Ive fainted, lost weight, anxious, depressed, bad skin, dry hair - the weird thing is it feels like it happens over night with out warning. Did any one else feel like that?

    I was fine one week and destroyed the next. Not to mention suddenly developing cellulite and fat in all weird places it never existed?!! Its so upsetting - post menopause is really the worst part of this journey for me
