Is it bad to have a loss of your period because of being an athlete? does it have negative effects?

Menses & Athletes: Hi, not having period in strenuous exercise can cause disturbance of menstrual cycle, but it is important for these athletes to have a complete evaluation to make sure Amenorrhea (lack of period) is due to physical activity rather than anything else, Amenorrhea could increase the risk of infertility and osteoporosis (bone thinning).
