Abstract
The incidence of thyroid disease in adolescents with heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown. A retrospective cross-sectional study of 427 adolescents presenting with heavy menstrual bleeding found 0.23% (95% CI 0%-0.7%) had thyroid disease, lower than that expected in the general population. Thyroid testing should only be considered when other symptomatology is present.
