A member asked:
Is there a relation between cortisol,thyroid hormones and female hormones? could changes in levels of one of the three hormones be causing the other two to deviate from normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variations in cortisol can cause significant changes in estrogen and thyroid hormones. A deficiency in cortisol can reflexively cause decreases in thyroid hormone, and elevation in serum estrogen levels. Get a referral to an endocrinologist, as treatments are complicated and best evaluated by same.
