Woman problem? Monthly cycle?

Question

I have lost about 40 lbs in a month and a half. I have had my tubes tied and cut so I can't be preg. But, this month, my cycle has been mostly spotting. My cycles are usually heavy.Could this be due to the rapid weight loss? Thanks.

Answer 1

please talk 2 your doctor

Answer 2

Yes, your eating habits and weight are for some reason directly connected to that system. If someone works out or eats less it tends to s***w with their period. I dated an anorexic girl who never got her period.... I didn't like either end of that last statement by the way, and my sister has played soccer and talked about that before.

Found this:

"Weight also influences hormonal balance and menstruation. If a woman is underweight, her hormones will stop working properly and her periods might stop altogether. Recent research has also shown that obesity can throw hormones out of balance and make it harder for women to conceive. Stress also affects the hormones. Many women find that if they are worried about something, it can influence menstruation. In some cases, a woman's period might actually stop if she is very worried about whether she is pregnant.

Regular exercise and keeping fit and healthy can help regulate the menstrual cycle. On the other hand, exercising too much and overstressing the body can have a negative effect on the hormones to the extent that menstruation may cease. "

The weight loss has probably caused this.  Another thing, may be your age.  As we get older our body will go crazy with no reason LOL.  Just be careful and keep an eye on it.  If you start having more probs, please go to dr.  And, by the way, I am not trying to be an *** like others on here but, I would like to know how you lost your weight.  Good Luck and Congrats for the 40 lb loss.  YOU GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anytime your weight changes significantly it can mess with your cycle. The next concern would be were you trying to lose the weight and if so how are you losing so quickly, it saounds like a little much in a small amount of time to be healthy. If you aren't trying to lose it then you need to find out why it's happening. Good Luck

Answer 5

Yes, the rapid weight lose can and will cause your cycle to be erratic.
