Does a small amount of menstrual flow cause obesity?

Patient's question:

I have always been overweight. Recently, I heard that a small amount of menstrual flow can lead to obesity. Does a small amount of menstrual flow lead to obesity?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, there is not much relationship between a small amount of menstrual flow and obesity. Some women with a small amount of menstrual flow and obesity may suffer from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which requires attention. First, it is necessary to pay attention to rest, avoid overtime work, and engage in appropriate activities. Further medical examination is recommended to determine the cause. On the third day of the menstrual period, hormone tests can be conducted to check if the hormone levels are normal.
