What role do Thyroid Disorders play in gynecological health?
Thyroid hormones regulate many body functions, including the menstrual cycle. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) can cause irregular or heavy periods, while hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can lead to lighter or infrequent periods. Both conditions can affect fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage. Treatment involves medication to normalize thyroid hormone levels.
