Do Irregular Periods Cause Excessive Weight Gain?
I have recently lost weight, and skipped two menstrual cycles with my more recent one supposed to be happening now. i am eating properly and have put on some weight, but i ve had a dramatic increase in weight and i m wondering if missing these two cycles has put on weight, or i put on weight when i m supposed to have my period.

Hi,
I think it may be due to PCOD. In PCOD irregular periods, weight gain are the common symptoms. Kindly do ultrasound abdomen and pelvis after gynecologist consultation to rule out PCOD. Treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. For pain you can take tablet Tylenol now.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
