Is there a relationship between the thyroid and menstrual disorders?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I have a thyroid nodule, and I've also been experiencing irregular periods recently. Do you think there's a connection between the thyroid and irregular periods?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, there is a certain relationship. Because the thyroid is an endocrine gland, irregular menstruation is also caused by endocrine disorders. If there is a problem with the thyroid, it may lead to endocrine disorders, which in turn can cause menstrual disorders. Only by actively treating thyroid nodules and carefully observing whether the menstruation returns to normal after treatment can we determine whether further treatment is needed. If it is normal, no treatment is required. If it is still irregular, it can be regulated under the guidance of a doctor.
