Description
Some girls who play sports or exercise are at risk for a problem called female athlete triad. Female athlete triad - also known as female athletic triad - is a combination of three conditions: disordered eating, amenorrhea (pronounced: ay-meh-nuh-ree-uh, which means loss of a girl's period), and osteoporosis (a weakening of the bones). A female athlete can have one, two, or all three parts of the triad.
