What is the relationship between weight loss and amenorrhea?
Losing weight can lead to amenorrhea: Many women suffer from irregular menstruation or even amenorrhea due to dieting and losing weight, mostly young women around the age of 20. They restricted their diet and lost more than 5 kilograms in a year.

This kind of amenorrhea caused by fast dieting and weight loss is called weight loss amenorrhea. This kind of amenorrhea is mostly secondary amenorrhea, and the patient has no organic disease or mental illness, which is completely caused by the sharp weight loss caused by dieting. Because adolescent women need to accumulate a certain amount of fat (about 17% of the total weight) to make menarche come on time and keep the regularity once a month. If you lose weight blindly and lose body fat, menarche will be delayed, and people who come to menarche may have menstrual disorder or amenorrhea.
