What causes obesity due to low menstrual flow?

There is no direct relationship between less menstrual flow and obesity, but it should be noted that people with less menstrual flow are likely to have endocrine disorders or poor mental state. In addition to causing less menstrual flow, these factors may also cause obesity. For example, when the endocrine function is disturbed, the body's lipid metabolism will also be disturbed at the same time, so excessive fat accumulation will lead to obesity. Some people are depressed and vent their emotions by eating a lot of food, which also leads to obesity in the end.

Here are some of the causes of obesity.

Stress-induced obesity. Obesity caused by stress is also called "liver and stomach heat obesity." Excessive stress can cause liver function to decline (the "liver" in traditional Chinese medicine has the functions of the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and motor nervous system in addition to the liver functions in Western medicine). It may even affect the stomach, causing it to become hot and causing an abnormally strong appetite.

Edema-type obesity, also known as "obesity due to phlegm and dampness", is characterized by swelling of the buttocks and thighs, which is the so-called "lower body fat". This is because the body's drainage function is poor and excess water accumulates in the body, causing obesity. The main symptoms are as follows: normal appetite, but weak hands and feet, dislike of exercise, feeling weak all over and wanting to lie down after eating, sticky mouth, urinary incontinence, easy upset stomach, swollen eyes when getting up in the morning, etc.

Anemia type obesity, scientifically known as "blood deficiency obesity". Due to insufficient blood in the body, the basic body functions decline, metabolic functions become abnormal, and ultimately obesity occurs. The characteristics of this type of people are: normal appetite, but a full and protruding belly, thin hands and feet but fat body, which is called "secretly fat".

It should be noted that there is no direct correlation between low menstrual volume and obesity, but many factors that can lead to obesity can also reduce menstrual volume. For example, excessive physical fatigue can easily lead to reduced menstrual volume. At the same time, excessive physical fatigue can lead to abnormal body metabolism, thereby causing obesity. Some people also suffer from obesity due to overeating.
