HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Thyroid hormone levels can affect menstruation. Both high or low levels of thyroid hormones can affect the frequency or intensity of the menstrual cycle.
This is one of the common symptoms of thyroid disorders so the change is levels is the likely cause.
I hope this helps
