Possible reasons for abnormal period? i think it might be hypothyroidism?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Thyroid and periods: Hypothyroidism certainly could cause irregular periods. Some other symptoms of hypothyroidism are weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, fatigue, constipation. There are many other reasons for irregular periods as well. However, a thyroid test should be done (as well as a pregnancy test if you have missed a period).
