Author: Underweight stops periods
Subject: Common with girls with heavy painful periods. No need to suffer. Very common in ballet more than ID
In reply to: Concerned DM 's message, "How do dancers cope with competing when they have periods? Just heard a very successful school have their top female champions taking medications to stop periods completely. Is this an extreme measure or is it necessary to succeed and be at the top?" on 05:34:36 07/30/24 Tue

Many very thin and active young ladies don’t even have one until they become a normal weight. Anorexia is unfortunately common with female dancers in top schools.
