I just found out i have hypothyroidism. my periods have been heavy and cramp filled, could the hypothyroidism be the reason?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroid: Unlikely for hypothyroid to affect your periods in that direction. I suggest you see a gynecologist soon. That does not mean you are taking just the right dose of thyroxine. See your primary doctor about this.
