Question
Hi I have suffered an anorexia from the age of 18 to 25. I have osteoporosis and am wondering should i see an endocrnologist? i am worried about fertlity

Answer
Yes you should see an endocrinologist to have your hormone levels checked for it being unbalanced. Fertility problems can occur for those who were/are suffering from anorexia, but the sooner you address the problem the sooner you can deal with this and go from there.
