This study investigates the impact of unhealthy eating habits on the menstrual cycle in adolescent girls. The results indicate that low-calorie diets, nutrient deficiencies, and excessive consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods disrupt the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. This disruption slows follicular development, delays ovulation, and reduces the regularity of the menstrual cycle. Deficiencies in micronutrients such as iron, zinc, vitamin B12, folate, and vitamin D impair steroid hormone synthesis and negatively affect endometrial preparation, contributing to pathological conditions such as dysmenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, and amenorrhea. Psychological stress and body image concerns further exacerbate menstrual irregularities. The findings of this study are essential for promoting balanced nutrition and implementing preventive strategies to preserve reproductive health in adolescent girls.
