What Causes Absence Of Periods Along With Excessive Weight Gain?

Hi, I have missed my period for 2 months now. I am definitely not pregnant so that s not it. I also have gained a lot of weight in these past 2 months for no particular reason. I do not eat badman all. I don t exercise, but have done nothing differently to gain this weight. My hair is falling out, and I have headaches. What s wrong with me?

Hi & Welcome.
Based on the history given in your query, you seem to be suffering from hypothyroidism.

I advise you to consult a physician for further evaluation and certain lab tests such as CBC, ESR, fasting blood glucose, Thyroid function tests, Urine examination to confirm the diagnosis and appropriate treatment thereafter.
