A member asked:

Does not having a period put weight on you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not by itself: Not having regular periods and gaining weight may be related to pcos: polycystic ovary syndrome. Some laboratory tests and possibly an ultrasound can help determine this. But not having a period does not by itself lead to weight gain.
