Significant weight loss can cause hormonal changes that affect your menstrual cycle, sometimes leading to irregular or missed periods. Stress, nutritional deficiencies, or thyroid issues may also contribute. Please consult a gynecologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Weight loss, particularly significant or rapid loss, can certainly impact your menstrual cycle. It’s not uncommon for substantial changes in body weight to influence hormones, potentially making your periods irregular. In your case, losing around 26 kg in a relatively short period could be contributing to these changes. Drops in body fat can reduce the levels of estrogen, which is primarily made in fat tissue. Lower estrogen levels could cause changes in your period, such as making them more frequent, less frequent, or even lead to missed cycles. Beyond weight loss, other factors like stress, changes in diet or exercise, or underlying medical conditions (like thyroid dysfunction or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)) could also play a role. It might be beneficial to take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy if that’s a possibility, especially since you missed August’s cycle, and then consider reaching out to a healthcare provider for further evaluation. They could help determine whether the cycle irregularity is primarily weight loss-related or if there are other underlying issues. They’re likely to take a full health history, possibly run some hormone level blood tests, or assess any other physical and psychological factors that might be contributing. Continue to focus on maintaining a balanced diet and a sustainable, healthy lifestyle as abrupt or extreme weight-loss methods could further impact your health. Whatever the underlying cause, it’s recommendable to address any concerns with a professional who can guide you appropriately towards regularizing your cycles safely.
