Pathoma oligomenorrhea in hypothyroidism (?)

Members do not see this ad.

In the thyroid lecture in Pathoma, Dr Sattar mentions that myxedema is associated with oligomenorrhea. I was under the impression that hypothyroidism causes menorrhagia. I think this is an error.

It can cause either but menorrhagia is more common.

Hypothyroid--> increases TRH. TRH increases prolactin secretion--> oligomenorrhea
