Weight loss due to dieting causing delayed menstruation and increased leukorrhea: What's going on?

Patient's question:

Adolescent dieting has caused my period to be delayed by two weeks. My vaginal discharge has increased. What should I do? And I have been taking continuous tutoring and reviewing this month.

Doctor's answer:

According to your situation, dieting during puberty has caused your menstrual period to be delayed and increased leukorrhea. Dieting during puberty can lead to malnutrition, which in turn causes delayed menstruation. It is not recommended to diet during puberty because it is a golden period for physical growth. In addition to treating the increased leukorrhea, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a happy mood to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
