Yes, heavy menstrual bleeding can be a symptom of hypothyroidism. Light, absent, or infrequent menses can be a symptom of hyperthyroidism. If you're having continual vaginal bleeding though, you need to see a doctor asap for a full evaluation. There are many other conditions that can cause vaginal bleeding.

Probably not; if it is a case of hormone imbalance then the pituitary is probably more responsible. A malfunctioning pituitary can also be the real cause of a thyroid condition. If the thyroid is treated the imbalance can be helped. Whoever this is happening to should definitely see their personal doctor asap because depending on how serious a condition it is (you don't say) iron is being lost.
I have hypothyroidism.

Yes it can. I worked OB/GYN for 2.5 years and if someone came in with irregular periods or weight gain or loss that is one of the first things we checked was a thyroid level. So the answer is yes plus a it causes alot of other things too.

Thyroid problems can cause your menstrual cycle to be off which can cause spotting and periods to be more frequent than normal.
