Do you need to check the thyroid if you have irregular periods?

Patient's question:

These past few months, my menstrual cycle has been unstable, and it has reappeared that there are months when I don't get my period. I want to go to the hospital for a check-up. I want to ask if irregular menstruation requires checking the thyroid?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the recurrence of menstrual irregularity may be a symptom caused by abnormal body hormone levels. It is advisable to perform a thyroid examination for a more accurate diagnosis based on specific symptoms. Pay attention to observing your own symptoms and start treatment accordingly. According to the examination results, use medication to adjust your body's hormone levels for a period of time, which can gradually stabilize the condition.
