Patient's question:
I am a thyroid patient, and in recent years, I have had irregular menstruation. Does the thyroid cause irregular menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid abnormalities can cause menstrual disorders. Because the thyroid is highly correlated with a person's mood. Women are more prone to emotional fluctuations, so whether it is hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, it can affect the regularity of menstruation. During hyperthyroidism, the frequency of menstruation increases, the quality of menstruation becomes less, and the menstrual cycle becomes longer. Conversely, during hypothyroidism, menstruation continues to increase, and the menstrual period becomes longer.
