Is it true that its hard to lose weight when your period is irregular ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not exactly: Irregular periods do not affect your weight but the opposite is true. Many women who are overweight will then experience irregular periods. Excess weight causes a hormonal imbalance and syndrome called pcos. The irregular periods are a symptom of being overweight.
