10 Iodine Deficiency Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #6: Irregular Periods
Iodine deficiency leads to heavy periods since the production of the hormones that control the menstrual cycle is affected. If you experience painful and irregular periods, you should consult a doctor instead of going for over-the-counter drugs.
Irregular bleeding lasts seven days or longer. It also involves having to change pads more often and even at night. On another note, while having missed your periods might cause you to think of pregnancy, it could also result from iodine deficiency.
