Hello, thanks for the query. Thyroid deficiency (hypothyroidism) is unlikely to affect setting in of menopause. However, in case of uncontrolled hypothyroidism, it does affect the ovarian function and can cause irregular menstruation or either excess or less flow. It also affects ovulation and in turn fertilisation. It is important to maintain tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l to be free from symptoms of hypothyroidism. Thanks.

There is no problem with menopause and thyroid. Take always tab. Thyronorm empty stomach and milk or tea one hour later take iodised tata salt in salad and fruits.
