8Menstrual Problems
There are different ways in which thyroid conditions might affect a woman; one of these is menstrual irregularities. Hypothyroidism can typically cause painful menstruation, heavy flow, and shortened space between periods because of the production of thyroid hormones is reduced. While hyperthyroidism can make you experience a lighter flow, fewer menstrual periods or no menstrual periods at all because the level of thyroid hormone production is increased. For women, menstrual irregularity is one of the more common symptoms because the thyroid hormones production is affected; this, in turn, affects the menstrual regularity. [7]
