Worm marks...?

stretch marks daw sabi ng sis ko

It may fade a bit after a few months, but I don't think it will disappear.

had them before, they are indeed, stretch marks. once u lose weight there are still marks but they'll not be obvious, they'll turn colorless.

doc, may tanong din ako about gained weight, pero ito about menstrual cycle naman. is it true that when a woman gains weight (or sabihin natin becomes overweight / obese) there's a possibility na magiging irregular sya or that she'll miss her monthly?

thank you in advance!

Like other types of stress, gaining weight may cause menstrual irregularity, but this should only be temporary. If your weight has leveled off already for more than a month and you're still having irregular periods, see an ob-gyne.
