Irregular Periods and Weight: Causes, Solutions & MaxiPad Options


Question
I am severley obese could this be affecting my periods?
Also are there any maxipads for a woman of size?

Answer
There are many factors, including weight, that can contribute to irregular periods. You should be evaluated by a reproductive endocrinologist who can perform certain testing to try and diagnose the cause of your irregular periods and help to get them back on track.

I have not heard of sanitary napkins manufactured specifically for women of size. However, I would recommend checking with your local pharmacy for this possibility.
