Female athlete triad is a syndrome of three conditions that are common with athletic training. These conditions are low energy availability (exercising without eating enough), amenorrhea (not having menstrual periods), and osteoporosis.
Healthy lifestyle changes can help prevent female athlete triad. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise in moderation. And tell your doctor about any changes in your menstrual cycle.
