Answers:
Yes weight can effect your periods; generally speaking the heavier you are the heavier your periods are!. This is because fat stores Oestrogen!.!.this is however not ALWAYS the case, and sometimes skinny people can get heavy periods too!. There are other factors other than weight that can make periods heavier/lighter etc

With regards to yourself, I am 5"1 and I weigh 90 pounds!.!.so I am similar to yourself; my periods only last 3 days!.!.!.normal period duration can last anything from 3-7 days!.!.any longer and there will sometimes be a risk of Iron deficiency!. You are perfectly normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

that doesnt matter, unless you are malnourished and UNDERweight- then you may have short or absent periods!. anemia (lack of iron) can also cut periods down or out completely!. your being short has nothing to do with it, and her being a little overweight doesnt matter much either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its got nothing to do with it,every womans cycle is different,my friend is quite overweight and her periods are quite light!.and iv known slim girls to get very heavy periods!
taking birth controll pills will regulate your periods!your very lucky to have a light period,allthough with age it will get heavier!XWww@Answer-Health@Com

This can be true but can be taken to far!. Women who are too thin and underweight can stop all together!. This is a sign that the body is too unhealthy for procreation and is shutting down to protect itself!. It is common in dancers and models and pwomen with eating disorders!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i dont think so!. i'm 14, 5'4, and i weigh 100 pounds, i'm not over weight for my height at all!. i actually need to eat more!. but my periods are very heavy and last up to 8 or 9 days sometimes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That isn't true!. I'm very tiny too except I'm 18 years old and I had to go on the pill because my periods were so heavy and painful they were also 7 days long!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I Dont think so!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No I dont believe that weight has anthing to do with this!. I have always been on the overweight side since my teenage years and my periods have never lasted me more than 4 days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
