Dr Anita Mitra - The Gynae Geek

Lazy ovaries do not exist. If you stop having periods it’s because your ovaries aren’t receiving the right messages from the brain, or other hormones are influencing their activity.

Premature menopause is very rare and unlikely to be the cause of irregular or absent periods, but it is very easy to check for with a simple blood test.

Your body is very clever and is able to stop your periods if you are stressed, overexercising or not eating well, as a survival tactic to conserve energy for things that are more important than making hormones.

The contraceptive Pill will not cure PCOS. It will merely cause you to have a period every month, but when you stop the Pill, if you haven’t made any lifestyle changes, your body will resume the same cycle as before you started it.

Lifestyle changes including diet, exercise and stress management can have a massive positive impact on PCOS. They also reduce your risk of complications such as diabetes, heart disease and female cancers.
