Results: In this study 44% out of 100 cases had thyroid dysfunction. Among which 20% had subclinical hypothyroidism and 11% had hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism was seen in 5 % of the cases and subclinical hyperthyroidism seen in 8%. Menorrhagia was the commonest menstrual disorder seen in hypothyroid patients followed by polymenorrhoea. Oligomenorrhoea followed by amenorrhoea were commonly seen in hyperthyroid patients. Conclusion: Thyroid dysfunction is an important causative factor of menstrual abnormalities.
