Question On Bulimia's Affect On Teeth And Ovaries Posted: 03-10-06 04:27am
I'm new to this forum, sorry if my
questions seem redundant. I've been
bulimic since I was twelve--so....About
thirteen years--there hasn't been a single
day I haven't thrown up. Granted, some
days are worse than others. I'm 5' 1"
between 95-100 lbs. Now, I have two
questions:
1) i'm extremely worried about the whole
teeth thing. My dentist finally asked me
if i've ever had an eating disorder.
Admittedly, I nodded. My front four teeth
have gotten so thin and fragile, they're
beginning to be translucent at the
bottoms. Can I have caps put on them or
a porcelain coating as they do for chipped
teeth? Or would this not help?
2) does anyone know if bulimia affects the
ovaries or eggs? I have regular periods,
but am not sure how my ed might affect my
embryos.
I'm sorry this is a long entry, but i'm
really stuck. I appreciate any and all
feedback.
