A member asked:
I am an endurance athlete but still have frequent heavy periods. is there any way to help this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Usually strenuous exercising decreases cycles, but it seems as though you will need hormonal manipulation to alter your cycles. If you have just begun endurance training then continued training may decrease your cycles.
