When dieting causes absence of menstruation, patients need to stop dieting and resume normal diet in time, and generally, menstruation may be restored after 3-6 months.
Frequent dieting and weight loss may lead to endocrine disorders in the organism, which in turn may cause menstrual irregularities, delayed menstruation, shortened periods and low menstrual volume. Because long-term food deprivation will cause malnutrition in the organism, weight loss, lower metabolic rate and cortical dysfunction may occur, which in turn affects the function of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and eventually has the possibility of leading to menstrual irregularities. At this time, patients are advised to resume normal diet as early as possible to avoid permanent amenorrhea. They can consume nutritious foods such as milk, eggs, lean meat, etc., and at the same time engage in physical exercise to enhance resistance. After reasonable conditioning, menstruation may gradually resume in about 3-6 months.
In addition, it is recommended that patients should work and rest regularly in daily life, not to stay up late, not to smoke or drink, and try to keep a relaxed and happy mood without excessive worry or anxiety, which will have a positive effect on the recovery of menstruation.
