It probably can have that effect. If you are underweight, you are probably not taking in as much of the essential nutrients as your body needs (carbohydrates, protein, and fat), and also in effect not receiving adequate vitamins and minerals. All of these can affect the body's ability to function properly. Also, it probably gives the female reproductive organs less to work with, meaning that the materials that the body would normally be using to create the nutrient rich tissue, the endometrium, which is what flows out during a period, would probably be used by the body for other purposes, such as tissue repair or energy.
