Why are my breasts shrinking?

May 12, 2015
Asked By:now_now in Bronx, NY

I'm 29, during the last year my breasts have shrunken significantly. I weigh abt 107 pounds, and haven't lost any significant weight. I take levothyroxine sodium for hyperthyroidism. Additionally, and this may be unrelated, I recently started growing facial hair, which I haven't had since being a teenager. What could this be? Thanks!
