Will a lack of menustration cycle cause weight gain?

Answer 1

Yes, and it can be linked to ovarian cysts. There is a hormonal disease called POCS which causes weight gain, excess facial hair, and some other things. Call your doctor.

Answer 2

Always follow the healthy practice of telling enough details to help someone help you. It is not the lack of the cycle but the permanent or prolonged stoppage of the cycle that prompts such a possibility. If it happens, do consult your family doctor first. He would remember your medical history and identify probable causes, failing which it is advisable to consult an endocrinologist or a Gynaecologist. Things can be serious. No need to panic. Most of the time it is a minor endocrinal problem
