Patient's question:
Does the thyroid cause menstrual disorders? How should menstrual disorders be regulated? What should thyroid patients do if they have menstrual disorders?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid diseases can cause menstrual disorders when severe, such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, both of which may lead to menstrual irregularities. When menstrual disorders occur, the first consideration should be how to adjust the medication for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. After the medication is adjusted in a timely manner, the levels of thyroid hormones in the body return to normal, and the menstrual disorders can naturally resolve on their own. If the thyroid function is normal but menstrual disorders still persist, it is necessary to visit the gynecology department for a follow-up examination.
