Recently, I saw a news on the Internet, saying that weight loss can also lead to irregular menstruation. Is this true? Now almost every girl's mouth is closed to lose weight. Will weight loss lead to irregular menstruation?
On the issue of why weight loss leads to dysmenorrhea, I specially consulted experts from well-known gynecological hospitals. Experts pointed out that generally, weight loss will lead to irregular menstruation and dysmenorrhea. Because adipose tissue can synthesize estrogen that women need. In western countries such as the US, the incidence rate of amenorrhea in women with dieting is as high as 20%. Although there is no such statistics in our country, it is reported from time to time in gynecology clinic, which should be paid enough attention to by women. Normal women to puberty, the pituitary gland will secrete a large number of gonadotropins, promote the maturation of follicles, ovulation, menstruation. This kind of gonadotropin is a kind of protein containing sugar. People who are lack of protein can not secrete enough of this hormone; if people suffer from starvation for a long time, their pituitary function will decline and they can't secrete enough gonadotropin. As a result, the ovaries and other genital organs will be withered and their functions will be reduced. It is also found that some girls who have been dieting excessively for a long time will still have amenorrhea for a year or two after weight gain, even if they recover their appetite. This is because the pituitary function can not be restored to normal secretion function after long-term starvation.
Why weight loss can lead to dysmenorrhea, mainly because women lose weight will lead to fat reduction, fat reduction will lead to uterine cold, uterine cold will lead to dysmenorrhea, menstruation when the uterus will seriously contract pain, menstruation is not smooth. Women can eat chocolate during menstruation, drink ginger soup, brown sugar water to ease discomfort. The body fat of a girl about 18 years old should account for at least 23% of her body weight, which is the lowest fat level for them to be pregnant, childbirth and lactation in the future. If it is lower than this level, it is easy to cause primary amenorrhea, which will seriously affect the future fertility. Therefore, I would like to advise you to lose weight, you should be cautious about weight loss, weight loss can not only focus on diet.
The above is about why weight loss can lead to dysmenorrhea. It is a warm reminder that female friends should not excessively pursue slim figure, which leads to irregular menstruation. Health is the most precious wealth for women. Wish you health every day!
