Common Questions and Answers about Heavy periods hypothyroid

Avatar f tn Usually with hypothyroid comes heavy periods, and lack of periods tends to go along with hyperthyroid. But all of us are very different sometimes with our thyroid symptoms! lol I would also ask your gyno about this since you are on BC and maybe it is the wrong one for you and could be causing this.
Avatar n tn Like another comment said, birth control can help with long or heavy periods. It has been prescribed by many doctors for those specific reasons.
Avatar n tn my prom is tomorrow and my periods are really heavy is there anything i can do to slow it down.
1823715 tn?1319385796 I am fairly new to all of this, but from from everything I have read, my symptoms have been textbook for hypothyroid/hashimoto's from having short, light periods on an infrequent basis in the beginning to having heavy almost non-stop periods as the disease has progressed. I have read a few articles that say many individuals have more difficulty with heavier and more frequent periods as their condition worsens.

Avatar n tn I'm going to request the tests. About the symptoms, I would say: weight gain, sensitivity to heat and cold, fatigue, constipation, sore muscles, slow movements and weakness, coarse, thinning hair and brittle nails,problems with memory and concentration . I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I would like to mention that nine months ago I had a baby.
1416390 tn?1333901604 I had a c section 20 mos ago. since then my periods have been really heavy and there is always a day I seem to gush blood. Well- my period came a week early this month and last night I seemed to have passed a lot of blood- that seemed really red. Now that I am up it does not seem to be flowing so strong. I don't have any pain- slight cramping. I am not sure whether I should go to the ER or not- hate to go if it is just my period! Just seems odd there was so, so much.
Avatar f tn Jeeze...I'm really reluctant to post this, but here goes...Are any of you female "thyroids" on Synthroid (or maybe just hypothyroid) and have extended periods when you had normal cycles before the hypothyroid problem? Mine's been going for 16 days now and it's never done this before...Can hypothyroid throw you into perimenopause? (I'm 43 yrs)-Or maybe just muck with the female hormones? (Should I be asking this elsewhere?) Thanks...
Avatar f tn My mother was diagnosed in her early 40s with graves disease and her thyroid was removed, around the same time she was diagnosed with stage 3-4 colon cancer. I'm aware there are connections between autoimmune diseases and thyroid and intestinal diseases/conditions. As I'm getting older I'm noticing I'm following in the same physiological footsteps my mother did before she was diagnosed.
Avatar f tn dont sweat it, mine did the same thing. did you recently start having periods? because almost everybody is irregular when you first start. its normal. if you notice that after a while its still not right then you should seek a doctors advice.

Avatar n tn I had my rt overy and cysts removed almost a yr ago. I was having pain, heavy cycles , changing my pad more than normal, and huge clots. I'm still having the same problems. What could be the cause and what should I do!
Avatar m tn Since then I had one normal MP, but the 3 after that have been more or less when expected (28 days or so), but only last as much as 3 days and are extremely light. Previously my periods would be 5 - 7 days, 2-3 medium to heavy, then tapering off progressively. My periods never changed, they were the same length and intensity on or off the pill (I've gone off before). Now I don't even get PMS symptoms (always had sore boobs, tender abdomen, low back pain).
12205224 tn?1424027156 I am 53 years old. I have always had heavy periods, but lately my periods have lasted a long time, sometimes two weeks or more, and they become very heavy with lots of clotting. I have to wear two super plus tampons at a time and a pantiliner because they always leak. I hate it! What should I do? What can be done to make this more tolerable or stop altogether?
Avatar n tn 6 months after pregnancy it was back to normal and then it rose again. I am feeling a lot of typical hypothyroid symptoms like dry skin, heavy periods etc..
Avatar f tn I am 41 and have had very heavy periods for many years. I can go though a super tampon and a pad in an hour. I told my Dr an she wasn't concerned but I think it's making me very tired. Should I be worried?
532425 tn?1218524013 44 (normal range) but all my symtoms are hypo - major weight gain, constipation, heavy periods (had a hystrocomy last yr @ 35 yrs old) low energy, muscle/joint pain, basisclly I feel like I'm coming down with the flu every 3-4 days and it takes a couple days to feel better. Does anyone have any advise????
Avatar f tn i would have three weeks without a period and then six to nine weeks of heavy bleeding with huge clots. i have a hypothyroid condition. i am eighteen years old and had regular periods before this since i was eleven. i would prefer not to go on birth control, estrogen, or progesterone because i am a female to male transgender guy who is trying to get on testosterone. all of the websites ive seen say its normal or that i would have to do the three things i dont want to do.
929504 tn?1332585934 s and I had irregular periods for years after my first child was born I started again after nursing really heavy periods then after a year or so of that they just stopped all together and no one could tell me why. I went to a few doctors and they said don't worry about it.
Avatar f tn ve been feeling like not wanting to do very much, more tired and pale, dark heavy periods and I find myself going to the toilet and passing small hard stools 2 to 3 times a day even though my diet is healthy and I drink lots of water. I've been getting pain in my knee that gets worse with prolonged walking and weight bearing and I'm not overweight or immobile as my job keeps me on my feet.
917177 tn?1243354247 Is it normal for one to experience lightheadedness and fainting during menstruation? It's happened to me so many times before, typically as soon as my period/cramping starts I'll feel lightheaded, sweaty, and I'll fall to the floor and sit with my head on my knees. Occasionally this happens in the shower, or upon standing up if i wake up with my period, or even if it starts while I'm seated during a class.
