Patient's question:
I have hypothyroidism and have been taking medication for it. Recently, my menstrual cycle has been irregular. Hello, can hypothyroidism cause menstrual delay?Doctor's answer:
It may be due to hypothyroidism, which has a certain impact on this woman's endocrine system. However, common issues for women include excessive menstrual bleeding or even amenorrhea. Like your delayed menstruation, it is also an expression that leads to irregular menstruation, and it may also be related to the medication you are taking. In some cases, the endocrine disorder can lead to high levels of serum prolactin, resulting in the symptom of galactorrhea.
