Hello, my problem is very meager periods, they last about 3, rarely 4 days. I am treated for hypothyroidism. Such menstruation starts from the second birth, when I was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Before that, the bleeding was heavy, after 6-7 days. Could it be hormonal issues? I don't know what tests to do.
Typical of untreated hypothyroidism are long, irregular menstrual cycles and heavy menstrual bleeding. Typical, it does not mean that it is always like that, sometimes it is the other way around. The lady has treated thyroid gland and therefore requires personal consultation with a doctor and possible tests. The scanty menstrual bleeding in a patient treated for hypothyroidism may also be due to several other causes that are independent of the thyroid gland.
