Is there a relationship between weight loss and decreased menstrual flow?

Patient's question:

I started exercising and reducing my calorie intake last year, and I've lost over ten kilograms. I'm wondering if weight loss can affect menstrual cycles?
First follow-up question: I often experience dry mouth, and my tongue has a white coating. Sometimes I also have bad breath. Is this related to my menstrual cycle?

Doctor's answer:

If the menstrual flow is light, it may be related to weight loss. Pay attention to dietary nutrition. Drinking brown sugar water and eating jujubes may be effective. When you have your next period, pay attention to keeping warm and avoid getting cold. It's better to relax your mood.
Irregular menstruation not only affects women's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
