How Does Weight Influence Menstrual Cycles?

Extreme weight loss or gain can significantly affect menstrual cycles. Weight changes can disrupt the hormonal balance essential for regulating the menstrual cycle. Low body weight or a significant drop in weight can lead to amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), while excessive weight gain can result in irregular periods or heavy menstrual bleeding.
