Patient's question:
I was quite overweight, weighing 200 pounds, and I'm 170 cm tall. Through dieting and exercise, I lost 70 pounds in four months. I was quite surprised myself, never expecting this time to be successful. However, since finishing the diet, my menstruation has become irregular. What should I do if my menstrual flow is light and white?Doctor's answer:
If this situation occurs again, it is best to check hormone levels on the second day of your period. Normally, with such a high weight, after dieting, your menstruation should remain normal and not become abnormal. Therefore, it is recommended to check your hormone levels. If there is a disorder in hormone excretion, hormone drugs can be used to help regulate your menstrual cycle. It is also advisable to check if you have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). If you do, medication can be used to manage it.
