Is a 4-month absence of menstruation due to taking weight loss pills?

Home | News | Doctor Q&A Follow Dripcare information on google news
Hello, doctor. I am currently following a weight loss regimen using medication, but since stopping the weight loss pills, I have not had my period for 4 months. Can you tell me if the absence of menstruation for 4 months is due to taking weight loss pills? Thank you for your advice.

Hello,

When you take weight loss pills for an extended period, it can disrupt the hormonal balance in your body, particularly leading to menstrual cycle irregularities. You have stopped taking the weight loss pills for 4 months but still haven't had your period return; this could be a side effect of the medication. Therefore, you should visit a healthcare facility for an examination to receive the most appropriate treatment.

Additionally, using weight loss pills safely and effectively requires consultation and prescription from a doctor. You should share the name of the pills you used so that the doctor can decide whether to prescribe them for you or not. Moreover, following a balanced diet and increasing physical activity will also help you achieve sustainable weight loss and boost your body's immunity.

Best regards!
