Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the mall with my friend to buy clothes and noticed that I had gained a few pounds. Later, I learned that irregular periods can also lead to weight gain. My periods are often delayed, and the flow is very light. What could be the reason for my weight gain?Doctor's answer:
Being overweight cannot be absolutely attributed to menstrual disorders; endocrine disorders can also lead to weight gain. Based on your recent dietary habits, overtime work, binge eating, and lack of exercise, it is recommended that you have your hormone levels checked at a hospital. Additionally, you need to be patient. For gynecological patients, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean.
