Female Athlete Triad: What parents and young women need to know

If you are a very active or athletic young woman, with less energy, irregular menstrual cycles or bone injuries, you may want to talk to your doctor about female athlete triad. Anastasia Fischer, MD, a physician in Sports Medicine at Nationwide Children's (http://bit.ly/pywyEu), says female athlete triad syndrome is more prevalent than ever suspected before. The female athlete triad has three interrelated components: disordered eating low energy availability (often caused by not eating appropriately), dysmenorrhea (change in a girl's period), and low bone mineral density. Girls should talk to their parent or doctor if they are going more than 35 days in between periods, skipping occasional periods, if their periods have stopped, or if they are 15 years old and have not yet experienced a menstrual cycle. By eating meals with their children, parents can assess their attitudes about eating. All athletes should have a nutrition plan that consists of getting enough calories throughout the day.
