  • I'm a guy so what I know about female menstruation can be written on the back of a postage stamp in felt tip...

    However, I'd just like to say how interesting it is, to me at least, that not eating anything can apparently reduce a woman's period length. Is that legit or is that a lie meant to make people feel gullible? Because if it's the latter I'd fall for it hook line and sinker.

    Don't downvote me please, I'm just seeking some education on something I know very little about.

    In the meantime, here's an article I found: https://www.runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a20855296/what-runners-need-to-know-about-missing-their-periods/?fbclid=IwAR1nikUan1t4WAFad5DujVI9k-wFgoFpBLYavqNkCjwo4vaCbDXSp7L9pWI

    • It's no lie: starvation, including self imposed anorexia, can certainly stop periods. Women in Nazi concentration camps stopped menstruating after months of near starvation, maybe because a severely undernourished body couldn't carry a fetus to term anyway?

      I find it fascinating that female kangaroos re-absorb the fetus in times of drought and also that after wars more males are conceived to eventually even out the balance of sexes. Aint nature mysterious?

    • Yes it can. A very simplistic way to look at it is this: periods happen when your body thinks it is a good time to make babies. Hence why illness, starvation and stress all affect your cycle.
