Ladies out there...... weight loss and absent periods....HEL

emmalouisegrant

Hello,

Been really worried obout this so thought i would ask if anybody has any experience in this area... have lost four stone since Jan 2010 which is great, but very worried as not had a period in about 6 months. There is no other reason other than the weight loss i can put it down to. Although my BMI is the lower end of healthy weight range i am hoping that i have not done myself any damage. To put it into perspective i am 5ft 10 and am maintaining at 60-61 kg. Am going to make an appt at the docs this week but was wondering if anyone else had had the same problem and what you did about it?

They have had research done that says weight loss will mess with your monthly cycles!!!!! But it may be a good idea to have the doctors appointment to make sure it's not something else.. I don't think you damaged anything, but I don't think you have anything to worry about, I'm sure it's not damaged.... Good luck

Well that's pretty low for your height. You may have dropped your body fat too low so not having your cycle. Go to the Dr.

Could be a few things, I know that malneutrion can stop periods. My experience with my cycle i usually just skip when I lose alot of weight and my body readjusts it self and then I am back to normal... I would be a great idea to see a doc

I read that long term this can be damaging, better see a doctor:)!!!
