Early menses
My menstrual cycle was typically every 25-26 days ever since i started menstruating.. But since almost a year, this cycle has shortened to every 22-24 days. Ive also been diagnosed with hypothyroid last year and have been on regular medication ever since. I am really concerned if this shortening of menstrual cycle is related to PCOS.. My gynaec just did a prolactin test when i told her about my concern. Prolactin tests were normal but i am still very very apprehensive about PCOS. Please guide.

Thyroid weakness is the most common cause of short cycles. In body, hormones work together and problems in one gland are reflected on to others as well. Hence all hormone imbalances overlap to some extent and only a holistic approach can heal the whole body.

Good news is that your problem can be totally reversed, not by masking the symptoms but by addressing the root cause of your issue. To know more on this, please read my blogs on www.truhealing.com or practo health feeds. Hope that helps....
