Sudden weight gain, missed period, aches
Hi doctor,
I used to be a skinny and underweight person till about 2 years ago, slowly I gained a little weight which was good. In the past few months, I've gained about 6-8 KGs (mostly stomach, thighs, buttocks) and I also missed my period this month. I feel tired, sluggish and my body aches. There are sort of stretch marks on my waist. I am always tired and I do not want my body to be this bizzare shaped, I have no idea what has prompted this changes in my body, maybe age, but I want to know if there's is a bigger issue here. I want to function better and feel better. A lot has changed in 2 years in my life but my erratic eating habits are the same, almost but yes, there was been a significant decline in my physical activity. I feel like I don't even remember how to run anymore and I used to be an athlete. I feel horrible. I'd like to know all the possibilities. Thank you for reading and answering my question.

You need a hormonal evaluation and ultrasound to rule out PCOD. Whatever the diagnosis lifestyle modifications like exercises and low carbohydrate high protein diet are a must.

You need to get certain blood tests done before coming to particular diagnosis. Sudden stopping of exercise also leads to weight gain and hormonal disturbances. Kindly consult the doctor physically ,they will examine you and guide you regarding further investigations.
