Patient's question:
I've been on a diet this month, and then my period was delayed by three days. Hello doctor, can menstrual irregularity cause weight gain?Doctor's answer:
If menstrual irregularity occurs again, it may easily lead to fatigue or a recurrence of qi and blood deficiency. If weight gain occurs, it is likely caused by menstrual irregularity, and an endocrine hormone test should be conducted. It is also recommended to perform a pituitary gland examination, as it could be due to a pituitary tumor. This can be treated through surgery.
