Is Postcoital Bleeding A Sign Of Thyroid Disease?
Question: I have had suspicion that I may have a thyroid issue due to hair thinning/loss & dry skin. I am 33 yr old female. Recently while my husband and I were having sex, I bled pretty heavy during (didn't realized that until after) and after. Could this be related to thyroid issues? I have an appt in 1 week to have my thyroid checked but the recent blood scares me even more. Thank!
Brief Answer:
Thyroid
Detailed Answer:
A one-off bleeding incident of this nature should not be alarming in general. However those who have an under-active thyroid condition can potentially have excessive menstrual blood loss. A simple blood test called TSH will settle the matter as to whether or not you have a thyroid problem.
