A member asked:

How do i get my menstrual cycle back after an eating disorder and how long will it take for it to return?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

First things first: If you are able to maintain a functional pattern of eating, without restricting or purging, all of your bodily functions will eventually return to normal. How long that takes depends on how long you continue practicing the eating disorder.
