A member asked:
Can being overweight cause me to have no period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but......: Extreme body types can cause a lack or irregular periods. Too heavy and too thin alike. Doesn't mean you can't be pregnant and if any doubts check a pregnancy test. If not pregnant then hormone levels, ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis , sugar levels and thyroid testing should be done. See your gyn dr.
