Irregular Periods And Menstrual Cramps

Abnormalities of the menstrual cycle have long been associated with DTSF. In fact, thyroid function is recommended as one of the first things to be checked in a patient with irregular menses. Unfortunately, DTSF is often incorrectly ruled out merely on the basis of thyroid hormone blood tests being within the “normal range,” even in the face of classic signs, symptoms, and presentation of DTSF. Low body temperature patterns often result in frequent and heavy periods, but may result in light or skipped periods, as well as other abnormalities. Heavy menstrual cramping is also commonly associated with low body temperature patterns. Again, irregular periods can be seen to follow a pattern of onset, persistence, and resolution characteristic of Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome symptoms and can respond very well to the WT3 protocol.

From the book — how this is usually treated

Birth Control Pills

Frequently given to help regulate irregular periods or to treat heavy menstrual periods. In this setting, the birth control therapy frequently does help. The irregular periods and heavy menstrual cycles can sometimes be corrected to such an extent that they even remain corrected even after therapy has been discontinued. Sometimes, however, the irregular menstrual cycle and heavy periods resume once birth control pill therapy has been discontinued. Proper thyroid hormone treatment can often be used in Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome patients to treat the irregular periods and heavy menstrual cycles with there being persistent improvement even after the therapy has been discontinued. So, in cases where irregular menstrual cycles and heavy periods do not remain persistently improved after birth control therapy has been discontinued, persistent improvement might be accomplished through the use of thyroid hormone therapy (in Wilson’s Temperature Syndrome sufferers).
