Can weight loss cause delayed menstruation



Weight loss can potentially lead to delayed menstruation.

Women who lose weight quickly not only lose muscle and fat in the organism, but also experience endocrine disorders and ovarian non-ovulation.

Patients may experience delayed menstruation, amenorrhea and other symptoms in the early stages. It is important to try to avoid inappropriate ways of losing weight, as it can cause the dynamic balance of the organism to be disrupted, causing serious injuries to the organism, and even permanent injuries can occur.

Excessive dieting to lose weight or excessive strenuous exercise to lose weight is likely to cause endocrine disorders, and sometimes also cause menstrual delay. Appropriate dieting, if the rate of weight loss is not fast, falls within the normal range and usually does not affect menstruation.

If you lose weight and experience irregular menstruation, you should consult a doctor to clarify the cause of the problem and get treatment under the doctor’s guidance.
