Period issues, including loss of menstruation, are often considered inconsequential but can signal serious health concerns. My colleagues and I have reported on a frequently unrecognized condition in which period loss is the body's response to a combination of too much exercise, not enough calories, and stress.
We share the stories of people with this condition—functional hypothalamic amenorrhea—hearing how seemingly healthy lifestyles adversely affected their fertility, their bodies and their minds. Medical experts say early recognition can make a meaningful difference in recovery.
Through hand-drawn illustrations, we hope the visual story improves awareness of this often overlooked condition.
