Best Answer

Yes, it does in women. When a woman becomes anorexic, her body metablolize it's fat and lean muscle, then it moves on to the organs of her body, some of which include the reproductive organs. Her hormone balance is not stable, and so she misses her menstrual cycle consecutively. This may affect her chances of having a child one day (Fertility) And she could become sterile. Anorexia affects every part of the body and the mind as well, and should be treated very seriously.
