TherMay be related: It can be due to few conditions. It seems you are constipated as well. All these three can be caused by Hypothyroidism and can be successfully treated after diagnosis is confirmed by history/ physical exam and blood test. There are other causes as well like Type2 Diabetes,polycystic ovarian syndrome,depression&Cushing syndrome. Consult your doctor and get appropriate treatment
