Do you need to check the thyroid for irregular menstruation?

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 conduct a thorough thyroid examination for diagnosis based on specific symptoms. Pay attention to observing your own symptoms and start treatment accordingly. Based on the examination results, use medication to adjust your body's hormone levels for a period of time, which can gradually stabilize the condition.
