Can a low bmi cause irreversible primary ovarian insufficiency?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menstrual problem : Primary ovarian dysfunction may still have 5-10 %functional ovaries. Low BMI can lead to absent menstruation but still might not be ovarian failure. They are different conditions and patient should seek help from their physician for proper treatment.
