Is something wrong with my twin sister?

ok so I have a twin sister and I am worried about her, for starters she is very behind puberty wise like im 34c and never miss a period and am of healthy weight , she is 32a has missed her last 5 periods and is very skinny d never get away with it so any helpp please I really worried

Answer #1

Talk to your mum about getting a general check up, they’ll be able to see if she’s underweight and what’s going on with her… Make sure the doctor knows she missed her periods and she doesnt eat regularly. Sometimes the most obvious things are missed because family just cant believe someone they love is sick…

Answer #2

The weight thing is probably the reason…

Does she have unusual eating habits? I dont want to be alarmist here but you’ve mentioned a couple of things that tend to signal anorexia, low weight, missed periods, poor immune system…

It maybe something else though, 5 missed periods is not generally a good sign and she should probably see a doctor

Answer #3

well she only eats when she is hungry sounds silly but I mean like even if its lunch time she wont eat if shes not hungry and she makes a rule of not eating after 7 so it all counts on whether shes hungry before then

Answer #4

ok thnx I thought you know since shes my twin we have the same dna since we came from the same egg we’d devolp pretty similary

Answer #5

Just because she is your twin, doesn’t mean she will have all the same health issues you do - she’s still very much an individual.

It may be something as simple as an intestinal parasite. A tapeworm will result in a person losing weight even though they eat a lot. It would also leave her feeling tired, since it will sap most of her nutrients.

She really should see a doctor. A parasite is easy to get rid of, but if it’s something more serious, then wasting time thinking about it is a bad idea.

Answer #6

Every person is unique and different - if it is of great concern, have her see the family Dr for a check-up…Take care !!
