why does malnutrition cause anovulation?
Answer Michelle, Malnutrition can wreak havoc with many systems in the body, including (and not limited to) the cardiovascular system, urinary tract system, and reproductive system. It’s complicated and beyond the scope of this forum, but I can tell you one of the mechanisms is that eating poorly can affect the pro-opiomalanocorticosterol receptors in the brain, which can have a negative impact on the pituitary hormones controlling ovulation. Also, estrogen is produced in the fat tissues of the body, and lack of fat or excessive fat can change the estrogen content in the blood, resulting in an abnormal feedback loop to the LH and FSH release from the pituitary.
