10. Irregular Menstrual Cycles or Fertility Problems
Thyroid hormones interact closely with reproductive hormones.
Women with thyroid disease may experience:
- Heavy periods
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Missed periods
- Difficulty becoming pregnant
Men may also notice:
- Reduced libido

- Fertility problems
Because thyroid disorders are treatable, identifying the cause can improve reproductive health in many cases.
