Could a woman's low body fat cause her period to only last two days and she says she very lightly bleeds ..

Question

all month long. She says this started 4 months ago. Fitness fanatic with low body fat...what else might it be?

Answer 1

Yes, hormones are made from fat. No fat, no period. Anorexics and and other people with eating disorders that
reduce fat intake often do not have periods at all, as well as physically conditioned female athletes. The body decides what more important-having a period, or fueling other organs.
