    Question

    I was wondering if abnormal discharge has anything to do with a thyroid problem, (hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism). Because as a symptom it says abnormal menstrual cycle, and im not quite sure what that would mean. Thanks in advance.

    Answer

    Thyroid problems do not cause vaginal discharge. They may cause irregular bleeding. Please see your health care provider to evaluate for other possible causes, such as infection.
