Does irregular menstruation cause obesity?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation is often caused by the imbalance of endocrine hormone levels. The imbalance of endocrine hormone levels can not only lead to irregular menstruation but also result in obesity. In this case, it is necessary to visit the endocrinology department or the gynecology department for a follow-up examination. A thorough check of the six female endocrine hormone indicators should be conducted. Based on the examination results, a combined treatment approach of traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be adopted for symptomatic treatment. Regular physical exercise should also be enhanced to control weight.

Doctor's answer:

Some women may experience irregular menstruation, which can lead to obesity, irritability, enlarged pores, nervous exhaustion, memory loss, and other issues. They can consume blood-nourishing foods but should not take hormonal medications on their own. Avoid frequently eating out-of-season foods grown with hormones, and reduce the intake of pickled vegetables like sauerkraut. Limit alcohol consumption, avoid contact with radioactive substances, and engage in appropriate physical exercise.
