Menstrual irregularities caused by thyroid

Because thyroid disease mainly occurs in middle-aged women, the manifestation of women's thyroid function will also affect their menstrual period. Menstrual disorders in women are mainly manifested in abnormal length of menstrual period, abnormal amount of menstrual blood, too much or too little. There is a close relationship between the thyroid gland and menstruation. Next, I will introduce to you the specific reasons why the thyroid gland causes menstrual irregularities.

The thyroid gland is the place where thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone are secreted. If there is something wrong with the thyroid gland, it will lead to an imbalance in the secretion of the two hormones, which will in turn cause a series of diseases. For example, if a woman has hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, she will experience irregular menstruation. At this time, the direction of treatment should be shifted to treating thyroid disease.

The normal functioning of the endocrine system mainly depends on the mutual coordination and regulation of various hormones. If there is a problem with the endocrine system, it will lead to very serious consequences. Today we will introduce an organ that plays a very important role in the human endocrine system: the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is the place where thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone are secreted. If there is something wrong with the thyroid gland, it will lead to an imbalance in the secretion of the two hormones, which will in turn cause a series of diseases. For example, if a woman has hyperthyroidism, she may experience menstrual irregularities. So why does this happen?

Thyroid diseases mostly occur in women, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, but no matter which one you have, it will affect menstruation to some extent. When the thyroid gland is overactive, the frequency and volume of menstruation decreases, and the time between periods becomes longer. When the thyroid function is low, the menstrual blood increases and the bleeding time is prolonged, but patients with long-term illness will have less menstruation or even amenorrhea. When receiving treatment, you must combine your actual situation and receive targeted treatment.

As we all know, endocrine is a set of regulatory mechanisms that restrict and influence each other. If there is a problem with any organ in the middle, it will affect the secretion of other hormones, such as progesterone, and then lead to irregular menstruation. If you already know that your menstrual irregularities are caused by your thyroid gland, then the problem now is that you need to properly regulate your thyroid function.

Many people's first reaction to irregular menstruation is gynecological treatment, but they don't know that the causes of irregular menstruation are very complicated. It's right to go to the gynecology department for examination and treatment, because it can do some useful elimination, but when the results of the gynecological examination are normal, the thyroid gland should be the first thing to think of. We must take good care of our thyroid gland and other endocrine organs, reasonably regulate our endocrine system, and use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment when necessary, which will be more effective.
