Apart from eating disorders, yo-yo dieting can also lead to menstrual disorders. "If weight loss is easy up and down, the body will think it is stress resulting in changes in the mechanism of ovulation," said Amanda Tozer, consultant reproduction.
When your weight is reduced by only a few pounds, the body will be fine. But if extreme changes, either rising or falling, menstrual disorders can occur.
Diets that are too tight will also make the body lacks the nutrients that the body can not function normally and this affects the reproductive function.
Unfortunately, according to Wren, the effects can be long-term impact. About 20 percent of women who are too thin to say, their menstrual cycles do not return to normal, even when their weight was ideal.
"There are some anorexic patients I work with who is now her weight is normal, but the system in the hypothalamus in the brain is not working again," said Wren. For that, a doctor may try to lure the process of ovulation with medication.
He adds, not just a skinny woman who disrupted her fertility, but men also. "Men who are too skinny are usually poor sperm quality because it lacks nutrition," he said.
