Can fasting for ramadan effect your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to happen: Women get changes in menstrual cycles for no reason at all, and also for a variety of reasons. So, changes that occur during mild fasting can be just coincidental (not actually caused by mild fasting). Altering one's meal times, meal sizes, bed times, activities, etc... Is not expected to cause menstrual problems, but might do so in a few women whose cycles are very sensitive to lifestyle changes.
