Bleeding Between Menstrual Periods

Thyroid disease (particularly hypothyroidism) may cause an irregular bleeding pattern, and it can also cause these additional symptoms

• fatigue
• depression
• difficulty staying warm
• weight gain
• coarse and dry skin
• muscle cramps or muscle weakness
• slowness of memory or thinking tasks
• facial swelling, particularly around the eyes
• coarse hair or hair loss
• a sensation of a lump in the throat.

Do you have any of these additional symptoms? Yes, I do have one or more of these symptoms. No, I do not have any of these symptoms.
