Is being underweight associated with infertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: being significantly underweight can cause amenorrhea (lack of periods) which causes infertility. See your doctor about gaining weight in a safe manner. If your being underweight is due to anorexia or some other eating disorder, seek a counselor for proper treatment. Hope this helps!
