Hello
I have gone through your question and understand your concern. In my view, this appears more like obsessive- compulsive disorder (OCD). Eating disorders are common with patients with OCD, it will not affect reproductive health but can affect mental well being if not taken care of over a period of time. Consult a psychiatrist, you may need medical and /or behavior therapy. Remember, Behavior therapy is as effective as medications, affordable and without any drug side effects. Good luck. Hope your concern is answered. Thank you.
