Abstract
These data demonstrate that hypothyroidism in women is less frequently associated with menstrual disturbance than was previously described. Also, menstrual irregularities tend to be more frequent in sever hypothyroidism in comparison with mild cases, although this finding was not statistically significant. Oligomenorrhoea and menorrhagia are the most common menstrual disturbances.
