What to do if menstruation does not come due to hyperthyroidism

If the absence of menstruation is due to hyperthyroidism, then the main issue is to treat the hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism belongs to a series of hypermetabolic diseases and symptoms caused by the body's thyroid hormone being higher than normal. Therefore, if it affects the female urinary system, there may be irregular menstruation, abnormal ovulation, and even infertility.

Therefore, patients with hyperthyroidism need to actively seek treatment once they are diagnosed with the disease. Only when the hyperthyroidism is cured can the related symptoms and signs caused by hyperthyroidism be cured. Hyperthyroidism will also affect the occurrence of thyroid cyst-related eye diseases.

Causes of hyperthyroidism include focal toxic goiter (also known as Graves' disease), inflammatory hyperthyroidism (acute thyroiditis, painless thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, and Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism), drug-induced hyperthyroidism (sodium levothyroxine and iodine-induced hyperthyroidism), hCG-related hyperthyroidism (transient hyperthyroidism due to vomiting during pregnancy), and pituitary TSH tumor hyperthyroidism.

In clinical medicine, more than 80% of hyperthyroidism is caused by Graves' disease, which is an immune disease of thyroid cysts. The patient's reticulocytes produce human immunoglobulin irritating thyroid cysts - TSI. In clinical medicine, the TSI we measure is the thyrotropin protein kinase antigen: TRAb.

The cause of Graves' disease is still unclear. It may be related to factors such as fever, poor rest, and excessive stress. However, in clinical medicine, the cause of the disease cannot be found in most patients. Graves' disease is often combined with other immune diseases, such as vitiligo, hair loss, type 1 diabetes, etc.

Clinical symptoms

Thyroid hormone promotes basal metabolism and promotes the body's redox reaction. A relatively active metabolism requires the body to increase food intake; gastrointestinal activity is increased, resulting in an increase in bowel movements; although food intake has increased, redox reaction is increased, the body's calorie consumption is increased, and the patient shows weight loss; an increase in melting point manifests as fear of high temperatures and sweating, and some patients have a low fever; an increase in thyroid hormone stimulates central nervous system excitation, and clinical symptoms include palpitations, tachycardia, insomnia, irritability, and even anxiety.

If patients with hyperthyroidism do not receive appropriate treatment for a long time, it may cause hyperthyroid heart disease.
