Patient's question:
How is it to have amenorrhea due to dieting? I am 165 cm tall, and I used to weigh about 114 kg, but after losing weight, I weighed about 100 kg. My menstruation was very normal before, but there were problems after losing weight. In October and November 2007, my menstrual flow was very small, and I didn't have it in December.
