Common Signs Indicating Hyperthyroidism

Lighter And Less Frequent Menstrual Periods

Having an irregular menstrual period might not seem ideal, but it’s an excellent way to predict how well a woman’s thyroid is functioning. Whereas an underactive thyroid may cause a heavier flow more often with more severe cramps, hyperthyroidism may cause shorter and lighter periods. Periods may also be farther apart due to high levels of thyroid hormones, which can make conceiving a bit trickier. Thyroid problems may also cause a decreased interest in sex.
