Page "Anovulation" Paragraph 35

# Several studies indicate that in some cases, a simple change in lifestyle could help patients suffering from anovulation.

Consulting a nutritionist, for example, could help a young women suffering from anorexia to put on some weight, which might re-start her menstrual cycle.

Conversely, a young overweight woman who manages to lose weight could also relieve the problem of anovulation ( losing just 5 % of body mass could be enough to re-start ovulation ).

However, it is widely acknowledged by doctors that it is usually very difficult for PCOS patients to lose weight.
