Athletic amenorrhea is a variant of functional hypothalamic anovulation (FHA) and concomitant neuroendocrine alterations include hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activation leading to increased circulatory and cerebrospinal fluid levels of cortisol and hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroidal suppression leading to variable degrees of hypothyroxinemia.Amenorrhea is associated with a decrease of estrogen production and an increase of testosterone. On the exterior, therefore, women may have develop excess facial hair and a decrease in breast size.
In addition, estrogen deficiency, or hypoestrogenism, directly affects bone density.The Depletion of Calcium: Osteopenia. Another lesser known fact about amenorrhea is that it leads to the depletion of calcium in your bones.
If the body is not producing estrogen as discussed previously it is unable to maintain levels of calcium in the bones. This depletion is called osteopenia.But using performance-enhancing drugs (doping) has risks.
Take the time to learn about the potential benefits, the health risks and the many unknowns regarding so-called performance-enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids, androstenedione, human growth.“Previous studies have shown that amenorrheic women runners have decreased dilation in the main (brachial) artery of the arm in response to blood flow,” says lead author Stacy Lynch, M.D. “Athletic amenorrhea has a hormonal profile similar to menopause, when the earliest sign of cardiovascular disease is reduced vascular dilation, which can limit oxygen uptake and affect performance.”.Low bone density is a dangerous consequence of the triad, and the degree of low BMD in young patients is greatly dependent on age of onset and duration of amenorrhea.
47 Low energy availability plays a crucial role in menstrual function and bone health.Teens that are thin and exercise excessively are at higher risk of amenorrhea, the absence of a period. And amenorrhea is linked to decreased estrogen levels, which may be the cause of.The reason for discussing Amenorrhea in female athletes is (1) male athletes do not experience the menstrual cycle and (2) Amenorrhea is more prominent in athletes due to the effect of intense physical activity Yes, males can have low bone mass, eating disorders, or excessive weight loss.Risks Although stimulants can boost physical performance and promote aggressiveness on the field, they have side effects that can impair athletic performance, including: Nervousness and irritability, which make it hard to concentrate on the game Insomnia, which can prevent an athlete from getting needed sleep.
If amenorrhea is caused by low estrogen, this can also lead to thinning of bones (osteoporosis) over time. You teen’s healthcare provider may advise her to take calcium supplements. Loss of fertility. If amenorrhea is caused by lack of ovulation, this means pregnancy.To the contrary, food restriction and purging can result not only in menstrual dysfunction and potentially irreversible bone loss but also in psychological and other medical complications, including depression, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, and changes in the cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, and thermoregulatory systems.
8,9 Some of these complications are potentially fatal.In fact, the classic ‘Female Athlete Triad,’ a condition relating poor energy balance to amenorrhea, low-bone density and underweight BMI, has been renamed to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (or Red-S), a broader, more gender-inclusive condition. Red-S encompasses all the above symptoms as they relate to low energy availability in athletes.
If amenorrhea is caused by low estrogen, this can also lead to thinning of bones (osteoporosis) over time. You teen’s healthcare provider may advise her to take calcium supplements. Loss of fertility. If amenorrhea is caused by lack of ovulation, this means pregnancy.
Athletic amenorrhea is often seen in sports that stress or result in thinness. These sports include gymnastics, ballet, and long-distance running. With the pressure to be thin, some young women may develop eating disorders.
A person with anorexia diets to excess, sometimes to the point of starving. People with bulimia binge (eat a lot at one.The female athlete triad (Triad) refers to the interrelationships among energy availability, menstrual function, and bone mineral density, which may have clinical manifestations including eating disorders, functional hypothalamic amenorrhea, and osteoporosis.
With proper nutrition, these same relationships promote robust health.

Does the abdominal disorders can cause change in the pulse like hepatomegaly splenomegaly
I think i have anorexia because i don’t have my period for 2 months, i also take just 700 calories per day and have a 45min workout. i do it excessive workout and super restrictive diet. What should i do to stop this on my own? pls help me
Aids is also caused by an attack.
Sodomy causes an auto immune response.
Most people recover, some cant.
I’m underweight so my parents tell me to eat more and defecate less:/
Hi, I have a 20 month old and still have not had a period since before I got pregnant. I am having blood tests regularly to try and find out what is going on however I started a clean eating journey and got into excerise! I have stopped excersise for a while since I saw your videos I have realised perhaps in need to gain a bit of weight and let my body rest. Have you got a video with the changes to your body when you put on weight, wether you have managed to excerise again? I am curious to know how your body has changed in order to get your periods back.
Thanks sam
200th subscriber!:) Illness and stress, existential crisis and all round confusion and desperation to get better led me to a healthy lifestyle…except for one thing I’ve just not been eating enough! I think this is my final piece of the puzzle to getting back to my energetic self again. It’s going to be strange having to eat more regularly and to adjust to feeling full, but it has to be done. Thank you for your videos lady!
How I got it was my friend suggested a fast we could do for fun and I did it for a week and suddenly got obsessed with it now I practically starve my self like if my mum asks me if I have had anything to eat I Will say yes when I haven’t the longest I have gone is 2 weeks do u think I have it ( I also am dropping weight but I think I’m fat)
I’m not scared of being fat but I am really skinny it got to a point where I’m really weak
A channel with over 1 million subs should not be telling people for 8 minutes that you HAVE to be skinny to have anorexia. It’s disgusting:/
Amenorrhea is a stage when the menstruation is absent during the reproductive years, between puberty and menopause. Around puberty, menstruation begins which normally occur about once a month until the age of 45 or 50 years. If the menstruation does not occur at times when people normally expect it to, considered as Amenorrhea. It may be due to having a very low body mass index, a gynecological disorder, physical stress, premature ovarian failure, etc. Symptoms may occur lack of menstruation, hair loss, vision changes, additional facial hair, etc.
Environmental factors and our changing lifestyle also causes Amenorrhea, which includesChronic diseases (for example, Tuberculosis), Recreational drug abuse, Excessive stress, Malnutrition, Excessive weight gain or weight loss, Anorexia, Cycle suppression with systemic hormonal contraceptive pills, etc.
Herbal treatments for Amenorrhea can be very effective which contains a lot of nutritive elements that help in building the Rasa Dhatu and supporting the production of menstrual flow. Chandigarh Ayurved Centre introduces ‘’Amenorrhea Go Kit’’, which are generally used for the gynecological purposes and to strengthen female hormones. This kit includes – Rajpravartinvati vati, Stri rasayan, Stri poshak syrup, Stri poshak capsules, and Ashwagandha tablets.
I have anorexia purging type. I’ve never really struggled with binging just restricting and purging and over-exercising. I appreciate the fact that there’s videos trying to educate ppl on these mental illnesses and how it focuses on the severity of it. However, it’s very frustrating and unhelpful to focus on being underweight or overweight since it’s more of a unhealthy coping mechanism to deal with underlying emotional issues/trauma/life changes. Of course there are physical side affects of eating disorders but ya gotta treat the brain (emotional needs/mood regulation) to fix the disordered eating and that requires a lot of work and support from others sometimes.
i stopped eating because it feels so wrong to me I only eat little portions and when I have to much calories I purge I try to throw it up and usually do or throw up a bunch of water, it doesn’t make me feel good until it’s over with and i excessively exercise but even then I don’t feel skinny I am scared I will never feel skinny and just keep doing this
My height is 160 and I weight 50 I’m obsessed with my weight whenever I eat anything I regret it soo baaad
What is the medicine for treatment and what is the name of the glass?
I haven’t had my period for 4 months and I don’t know what to do can you help me or some one?
The binge and purge us bulimia. Also you don’t need be underweight to have an eating disorder, my one physician and nutritionist can back me up on that. You video was ignorance.
i don’t know what i have. i enjoy food, but i deny myself food because i feel i don’t deserve it. i even find myself enjoying the feeling of hunger. i don’t care about calories or fat intake. i do, however, critique my body and call myself fat, then respond by denying myself food or eating significantly less food. i have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. i currently cannot see a professional. i’m not asking for pity or inspirational crap. i just want to know what might be causing this. and strangely, a lot of people on youtube are very educated in this stuff. so… any ideas?
I’m 5.9feet walk loads or try work put even though I don’t have energy, I only eat once a day and bing eat 2rines a week and vomit till I have nothing of not doing that I hurt myself, do t eat on front of anyone for 14years I cook all the time and a feeder and love feeding people but after -16 years like this u get fat u bloat and ya face bloat, and ya belly all the places u don’t want gutted wish I could get out of this shit
I had anorexia and I was in the moderate zone. I literally was given a deadline to recover now I’m in a healthy weight but mentally i’m dying.
I traded an ED for another ED shame
If I had gotten the help I needed i’d probably have a healthy relationship with food plus I still fast, I purge now I drink lots of water so it doesn’t burn my throat and exercise a lot.
My sister Monica is having ammenorhea from last 6 months. She took treatment from #chandigarhayurvedcentre within 1 month her menstruation starts. She is still on medication.
there is something incorrect about this video that i would like to talk about.
while TYPICALLY anorexia is found in normal to underweight people, it’s doesn’t mean there aren’t overweight or obese people with it.
i’m overweight myself (i’m slowly losing weight though) and i have anorexia (the 1st type, i don’t eat a lot and purge. instead i limit my food intake) also i saw a few people that are overweight as well and are diagnosed with anorexia just like me.
i still am currently trying to recover, i was 11 and 5”5 with a BMI of 13.0 and i was very very thin, but i just want to let you know, it does get better:)
Hi I have some questions about primary amenorrhea n pregnancy. Could someone help
He is saying all of this bad stuff but I AM still considering it. I just can’t go overboard
I was anorexic when I looked in the mirror I saw more weight too lose everyone told me how skinny I was but I didn’t see it
Anorexia is a symbolism for restricting…anorexia is symbolism for inner hate…anorexia is symbolism for skull and bones. Anorexia is symbolism for sunken like a ship?..anorecia is cult related…Depopulate
Anyone else loves to cook food and feed OTHERS but not ourselves?
I think it’s unfortunate that a “disordered” eating clinical diagnosis gets lumped into the triad or RED S, assuming the deficiency of energy intake is due to a spectrum of obsessive restricting for appearance or other ego compensation issues. What about the many athletes who just weren’t educated on the proper most functional amount of energy intake by their coaches, trainers and even doctors. My frustration isn’t directed towards you, thank you for bringing this information to us. It’s how culturally women and food by default get a bad wrap. Now that they are including male athletes in REDS are they too being diagnosed as eating disordered or are they taking that language out that men mustn’t get associated with disordered eating?
Anorexia or bulimia both involve a desire not to go to the bathroom.
Anorexia you don’t want to eat because a bowel movement is painful.
Bulimia you eat bit you evacuate by getting yourself sick.
Same reason a bowel movement is painful.
Most people with this disorder recover eventually.
Some were possibly attacked which in turn causes pain.
Some dont really have a false image of their body weight and they may not want to tell what may have happened to them.
This is stupid. I was diagnosed with boulimia but i was serveraly underweight. ITS NOT THE SAME. People with boulimia are binging and purging, and if its longer than 3 months you can get diagnosed with boulimia. THIS IS NOT WEIGHT RELATED. Anorexia is an ilness where people
restrict (you can have binges etc but its different) AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY WEIGHT. You dont have to be underweight to have anorexia. So stop saying that eating disorders are weight related, because yes you can be underweight, but you can also have a healthy weight or be overweight. Eating disorders are a form of having control in life. Not to ‘lose weight’.
I feel better when I’m hungry then when I’m full, so that’s why I dont eat more than one meal a day and still I dont lose weight.
wow i’m super late to this but a reminder that you do not need to be underweight to be anorexic!! i’m in the perfect weight range for my age and height and i still have anorexia, as well as i still had anorexia when i was 20 pounds heavier. it’s such a horrible mindset that you need to be a certain weight to be considered anorexic because it feels like it almost reinforces the focus on weightlike saying “oh you’re not skinny enough to be anorexic” often causes people to delve further into the eating disorder because they don’t think it’s a real problem. if you’re reading this and you fit every criteria for anorexia but aren’t underweight (like me), you are still anorexic, and i cannot express enough that you aren’t alone and that you need to seek help and support. even if it’s hard to believe, please know that you’re worth so much more than this disorder and that you matter. i love you, please stay safe <3
I want to become anorexic, dont come at me for that! I normal weight and i want to be underweight,and i can’t get ��
I’m 80% of the ideal weight (70 kg) for my height (175cm), and 18.3 bmi rating. I just don’t have the appetite. I don’t move much, so you would furthermore expect for me to have it easy to gain weight but it’s not.. I get that I don’t have anorexia as my lack of weight isn’t associated with anything mental, but it’s still very annoying being so skinny that wind literally blows you away. And it’s not like I eat healthy food with very little calories.. All this just doesn’t quite add up. Perhaps genes?
Its indescribable, watching your body diminish before your eyes. Seeing what once was healthy. Then seeing the decrepit half-ghost in the mirror looking back. Asking how did it get this far?
I’m 11 and I’m 5’5 I’m 108 and I starve myself I’m also scared of eating like I skip half of my meals and I sneak and throw away food when I’m supposed to eat it so idk I lost like 20 pounds in two months btw ik I’m tall lmao
I’m 120 and 13 and around 5”1 but I hate my stomache and my thighs and feel as tho I’m “fat” but idk why
How do I know for sure that I”m not eating enough? I don’t want to end up over eating just because I thought I needed to eat more.
Right now I feel at risk of gaining some sort of eating disorder because I recently discovered that one problem I have can be solved or at least shrunken down by losing weight and that made me have thoughts and under-eating and I’ve been subconsciously eating less after I started getting those kinds of thoughts
Can somebody help me, I’m just incredibly confused and I’m not sure if I’m paranoid when I say I might be at risk of an eating disorder that is to do with not eating enough
YOU CAN BE “FAT” AND ANOREXIC, WEIGHT IS A CONSEQUENSE NOT A SYMPTOM, things like that make us people with eating disorder and a normal weight feel like we’re not sick/have a eating disorder, that lead to even worse restriction of food and excessive exercises
Am I the only person that hates when I feel a little bit better (I mean when I don’t cry for one day or when I’m in better mood..) and than I think I’m healthy and dont have eating disorder anymore…I know that there is a problem when I don’t feel sick enought but this is not the same?
Does someone has this problem except me????
weight determines nothing. i was disgusted when he said that. get your mind out of the gutter! ugh truly disappointed
Gosh hahaha where was this before I had my gynecology exam. Awesome explanation! Certainly easier than reading 20+ pages.
Conclusion is the best. Its really useful while writing exam,I can put everything together for a single glance.��❤️❤️��
I’m here because I just met a guy about a month now but I’m concerned since he is very very thin! I mean, I can see all of his bones! He has sunken eye lids but he seems fine. Has a job drives drinks. I have seen him eat (a lot) but I have noticed he skips a lot blaming it on no time to eat… not sure how to ask him or talk to him about my concern…
Okay this is so wrong. Your weight does not determine if you have anorexia or not.
i eat less tahn 300 calories on a day,obsessed with my weight and ususally do hard exersizes and i am fasting about 23. 30:30..
so,i think i need help
Please never use the term “women” to describe those who menstruate, or females in general. Not all women menstruate (or have the organs to menstruate), and some men menstruate (and have the organs to do so). Using women to describe females is cisnormative and transphobic.
My friend had anorexia last year and it was really hard to see her at lunch everyday and she wasn’t eating anything. I think her eating disorder has gotten better though because the last time I saw her she ate a few mini donuts, but I’m not sure. But recently one of my friends who moved away told me that she’s starving herself because she misses her friends.
Can this apply to non-athletes also? I’m in sort of quasi recovery from anorexia and now well into the healthy weight range, but haven’t had a period in almost a year. I do walk a LOT and do an occasional gym class (about 20k steps total each day), but no ‘heavy’ exercise. My dietitian mentioned the triad but I feel like it can’t apply when I just walk a bit
I’m thinking of switching from bulimia to anorexia. This vid said anorexic ppl lose more weight so its confirmed I’m switching over.
Never misses your videos even though i already know that topic. There is always something new to learn. Thank you!!!
im super skinny,i want to gaij weight but i can’t eat a a lot,my friends tell me i only not gain weight because i have a faster metabolism but actually no,i po*p irregularly
I really dont know,i cant gain weight.I I only lose weight.
is there anybody else going through what i am going through because i feel i am the only one. i began to starve myself and i developed an underactive thyroid that somehow made me gain weight. i barely even eat anything, just fruit and vegetables if they’re on my plate. i hate everything i literally am cursed this happens to nobody else but me. i weigh more than what i used to when i dont even eat shit anymore. i am so unlucky and i don’t even understand how this is scientifically possible. i don’t even get hungry but i have 100-400 calories every day. what is wrong with my body?
How can I help my best friend? I really have no idea what to do and I’m worried.
So glad, you keep posting new videos, such great job, thank you ��
I disagree with this on so many levels. Anorexia is “about” your body, but it’s also ABOUT your relationship with food. Your weight doesn’t define whether or not you have anorexia. Sometimes it’s about control, too.
Not all anorexics are skinny
Not all anorexics work out
Not all anorexics hate their bodies
BUT
All anorexics are valid.
I’m well aware y’all are gonna roast me, or this comment is just gonna go unseen, but I had to throw my opinion out there. Take it as you will.
So I don’t have an eating disorder because I’m not underweight. Who knew.
I searched “how to get anorexia” this isn’t what I wanted ��
I only eat once I day some time I skip meals all the time I skip breakfast lunch sometime I don’t eat at all
Bolt animal super Linda easy master Sally more wicth is if very very low donedissoders
Thanks so much. I understood the normal mechanism of menstruation because of the simple animation and logical flow.
Does anything explain the causes?
Anorexia Nervosa is most often a survival response to trauma or abuse
so i’m like really skinny and underweight and i have a lot of the symptoms but i still dont really know if i have it. so can someone help me out. Its the same thing with anxiety like i have everything that someone with anxiety has but Im not technically diagnosed with it.
I eat and don’t work out but I keep getting more and more thin. 6 months ago I couldn’t see my ribs and now I can very clearly ( my diet has not changed) is that ok?
I enjoy looking slender! I went plant based almost a year ago and lost everything! I’m a guy almost 26, 5’11 at 123lb. I’m not quite anorexic, I’d say like Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker �� Funnily enough he’s been Vegan since childhood.
I would highly recommend a ‘Plant Based Diet’. People are supposed to be thin..! I can gain weight if I wanted to but like I said it’s cool..! ����
Seriously though if anyone is struggling eat more: White rice / Potatoes, Beans, Chickpea’s, Nut-butter., Creatine supplement’s.
‘PLANT BASED BABY..’ ANIMALS WANT TO LIVE! ����������
Me because kids in my school always made fun of me and my mom just made it worst same thing with my sister and my grandma and mainly my mom’s side
i haven’t been eating as much and i don’t have an appetite anymore.. when i did i ate a lot and i’ve lost a lot of weight.. i used to be 120 pounds (i’m 4’11) and now i’m 100.3 ������i just don’t feel hungry and the thought of food makes me nauseous
metrorrhagia she said regular bleed and on screen was irregular
when you also restrict food and at the same time purge the food you ate because you think you ate too much and starting to feel guilty of what you had done
��♀��♀��♀
I do have a small diet but when I start loosing weight I get worried that my period would stop
I hate food but I don’t hate my body. Of course I want to be skinnier but I don’t actively hate my body for it. My BMI is 15 and I have every single symptom. I am scared of gaining weight. I barely eat. I get maybe 500 calories a day. I have incredibly low blood pressure and a lot of physical symptoms. Is this anorexia or something else?
All videos are always good but i thought this one was quite slow.
I have been on and off again with anorexia physically, but it’s always been with me mentally. I am 24, and it all started my first day of Kindergarten (had a classmate who was morbidly obese, and I swore I wasn’t going to be like her). I’m pretty sure the “brain damage” and behavioral issues I have gained from these are irreparable.:(
I found this video to be informative. The illustrations helped get the point across quite well.
I am skinny af but I like to eat and I eat a lot, but I never gain weight, can anyone explain the reason for this?
I don’t know if I have anorexia because I don’t like my weight and I try to stay under 2000 calories but I try to not eat a lot just mainly drink water everyone says I’m “thin/skinny” but I think I’m so fat but I don’t cut my food into tiny pieces I just don’t know I’m 12 about to be 13 and I weight 106.5 I’m also 5’4 to me I want to lose more weight if anyone can will you give me your thought just don’t be mean��❤️��
Could someone explain for me what is the difference between dieting and anorexia? I don’t know if I’m suffering from ED or I’m just living healthy lifestyle?
Hi! So glad I found your channel! I’m new to running:) However, I believe I have the triad. I most likely do about 12 miles a week and I’m perhaps planning on starting xc in the fall. Therefore, would I have to stop ALL running in order to get my cycle back? I have not had it in almost a year�� I know the amount of calories I eat has played a huge role in this problem, but I’m doing my best to up my intake. But as an athlete who is trying to get prepared for season, do I have to stop running and all exercise (such as core/hip work)? I’m a bit confused on how to go. Thanks:)
my parents keep complaining about me not eating enough, but I do eat a lot of junk food at this point I dont have hunger and everytime I eat I feel gross, I enjoy the food but knowing my dad is watching me eat sucks and makes me feel insecure..
Not the one to self diagnose but I’ve been going to doctors for the past 3yrs and all they give me is contraceptives that works for the duration given and it’s back to irregular cycles�� I’ll keep trying though, you guys are the best��
This is literally when you do MUKBANG when you are too skinny!
The thing a lot of ignorant people get stuck on is that just because you’re diagnosed with Anorexia, doesn’t mean you gotta be thin and bones to be diagnosed with it. You can still have plenty of fat on you but still be Anorexic because of the symptoms.
For Turner syndrome, isn’t one of the X chromosomes inactivated by Xist anyway? Why does it matter if they’re missing an X chromosome?
I always feel dizzy and I never can eat, It all just feels gross to me.:(
I don’t know why I find it so hard to eat I just can’t. I’ve always had trouble eating but I don’t know what’s happening plz help
Notification gang. Because really need to get through medschool. Thanks for all the videos and effort osmosis ♥️
