Yes they can be. On an overall basis the thyroid problems have become more due to lifestyle changes food habits, stress , all these things are changed and the incidence has also increased. What we saw about 20 years ago the hypothyroidism or the hyperthyroidism has become more. What is hypothyroidism? The thyroid hormone maintains the BMR or the basal metabolic rate. So basal metabolic rate changes when the thyroid hormones are less, that is hypothyroidism. With Hyperthyroidism this increases. So both of these can cause problems and it affects the menstruation and definitely the fertility also because all these hormones are interrelated. Thyroid hormones, pituitary hormones , ovarian hormones are interrelated and with hypo and Hyperthyroidism, the ovulation or the release of the eggs are affected and in turn it can affect the hormones and the fertility. So as such on an overall basis even without the symptoms also these diseases can present. So when you go to a doctor the doctor will decide if there are some thyroid tests for you or not. The symptoms need not be present because of subtle hypo or Hyperthyroidism. TSH is thyroid stimulating hormones, secreted from the pituitary glands, which increases in Hypothyroidism and decreases in Hyperthyroidism because this is a negative feedback mechanism when you go to the doctor they tests for this. When you have period issues and go to a doctor and correct it if required. And make sure that the TSH is normal whenever you are conceiving because it is very important for the well being of the growing baby.
