Does irregular menstruation cause obesity?

Patient's question:

Irregular menstruation is often caused by an imbalance in endocrine hormone levels. An imbalance in endocrine hormone levels can not only lead to irregular menstruation but also result in obesity. In this case, it is necessary to revisit the endocrinology department or the gynecology department of the hospital for a thorough check-up of the six female endocrine hormone indicators. Based on the results of the check-up, a combined treatment approach using both Chinese and Western medicine should be implemented for symptomatic treatment. Additionally, regular physical exercise should be increased to help control weight.

Doctor's answer:

Some women may experience irregular menstruation, which can lead to obesity, irritability, enlarged pores, neurasthenia, memory loss, and other issues. They can consume blood-nourishing foods but should not take hormone supplements 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.
