Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Symptoms
8. Irregular Menstruation
Menstruation is not as regular as clockwork, but it does usually occur approximately once every 28 days. Not only is the timing not exact, but women can find that the intensity of their periods will also vary from month to month.
Regardless, women will still know that their menstruation happens within certain parameters, and will know when something is not right. Many women with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis will find that their menstruation goes on for longer than usual and/or it is heavier than usual. The patient’s menstruation should return to more regular levels once the underlying cause has been dealt with.
