Can being very overweight affect periods?

[phoenixflower]

Anyone have any info on this?

I think research shows that fat cells store oestrogen and other hormones (being fat soluble) and of course toxins.

Being overweight is a bad idea for your general health. And can affect your menstrual cycle as well as other endocrine systems - thyroid / insulin etc.

Losing weight if one is very heavy is best done with help of a GP or other health professional (like a dietitian or endocrinologist) as there may be a "healing crisis" when all the toxins and hormones are released as the fat cells empty, and one may need support.

Have a look here - it might satisfy your curiosity.

In what way? what is going wrong?
If you are overweight it can be a sign of PCOS but normally fat cells produce more oestrogen so you are unlikely to have periods that stop, unlike anorexics.
