Irregular eating habits can affect menstruation. If a patient consistently maintains irregular dietary patterns, it may impact various aspects of health, leading to endocrine disorders, which in turn cause the aforementioned symptoms. Patients should maintain regular eating habits, avoiding binge eating and extreme dieting. They should consume more foods rich in vitamins. If the above symptoms are caused by irregular eating, they will generally improve once normal eating patterns are restored.
