How hyperthyroidism causes less menstrual flow? does hypothyroidism cause menorrhagia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hyperthyroidism typically causes decreased menstrual flow, ultimately leading to loss of periods and infertility. Hypothyroidism typically causes increased menstrual flow leading to menorrhagia. Once treated, both problems should resolve.
