Will i get my period back after anorexia is treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always: Most women will have their periods stop after extreme wt loss and will return after normal wt is attained. There may have been some other damage done that might need treatment from a gynocologist. Don't forget the possibility of pregnancy.
