Irregular Periods After Weight Loss: Causes & What to Expect

Question
Due to a drastic amount of weight loss last year, I lost my period
for about eight months. Having gained back the weight lost, my
period returned this past June, and I had it June, July, and August.
However, the month of September is almost over, and I still have
not gotten my period. I just started college, so this may be of some
effect. I have never had sex, so I know this is not a cause of my
period's absence. I am wondering if the loss of my period last year
could be causing its irregularities now.


Answer
Dear Callan,

Thank you for your question and remember I am not a doctor but I have heard that if you get "stressed" about something it can affect your period. I know that sometimes starting college can be a little stressful and that may be the cause. So after you settle in and calm down your period has not returned then I would urge you to go see a doctor.

God Bless
