Yes: Women who have stretches without a menstrual cycle, who are overweight, are at risk for a condition called pcos. This condition can lead to a hyper estrogenic environment in your body. Having too much excess estrogen can lead to uterine cancer. I recommend you see a doctor and possibly get on birth control pills to help prevent uterine cancer. Also recommend exercise and weight loss.
