What bad things happen when a woman constantly misses her period, from stress, eating disorders, or her weight?

some women get so skinny, have such bad eating disorders- they don’t ever get a period- or get it once or twice a year-
some women are just as stressed, they miss their period for long periods of time too…what kind of pain or damage occurs from women who don’t get regular period because of weight loss, bulimia/anoxeria, or stress?

They become infertile in time. It’s because a woman needs the right amount of ‘female padding’ to carry a baby, to protect it. So once a woman maintains a weight too low, her body’s menstruation system starts to shut down. It depends how long the woman stays underweight for.

Some anorexia sufferers who’ve only been underweight for a year or two can gain weight, and their repoductive system recovers itself. But any period of time being too skinny will reduce the chances of conceiving. But for the women who’ve maintained a damaging weight over a longer period of time (say 10 years+?), they destroy their fertility basically. It’s because the body expects to be insufficient to carry a child, after the absence of the essential fat for a certain time period.

    So many things, you could become infertile, you could have your period for months at a time, or not at all, high blood pressure, the list is endless.
