Frequently Asked Question
Can hypothyroidism cause changes in my menstrual cycle?
Yes, an underactive thyroid can disrupt your menstrual cycle. You may experience heavier or longer periods, irregular cycles, or even missed periods. If you notice significant changes in your menstrual pattern, it's worth discussing with your healthcare provider.
Is there a link between thyroid problems and carpal tunnel syndrome?
Indeed, hypothyroidism can cause fluid retention in your hands and wrists, potentially leading to carpal tunnel syndrome. If you're experiencing persistent tingling or numbness in your hands, especially at night, it could be a sign of an underactive thyroid.
Can hypothyroidism affect my voice?
Yes, an underactive thyroid can cause changes in your voice. You might experience hoarseness, vocal fatigue, or a decreased vocal range. If you notice persistent voice changes without an apparent cause, consider getting your thyroid function checked.
Why am I experiencing hair loss and changes in my nails?
Hypothyroidism can cause hair thinning, especially in your eyebrows, and make your nails brittle. If you notice these changes along with other symptoms, it could indicate an underactive thyroid.
