What Causes Periods While Having Secondary Amenorrhea From Anorexia?
I m 19 and I have secondary amenorrhea from anorexia (recovering and getting help) but I haven t gained weight yet or changed my eating much but all of a sudden I got a period after not having one since June this year. Can I really just suddenly get my periods back irrespective of eating, weight and exercise because I ve never had them at this low a weight before. I am currently 45.6kg and 168cm tall.

Hello,
Yes it is possible. It is normal for your body to have periods. The body will try to regulate itself and get back to normal. It is great that you are getting help for this very serious condition
