### Patient: Doctor, I'm experiencing some unusual symptoms. I haven't had my period for a few months, and I'm having hot flashes. Also, my wrist seems to be swelling.
### Doctor: It sounds like you may have hypothyroidism. This is a condition where your thyroid gland isn't producing enough hormones, which can lead to irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes, and swelling in the joints like your wrist. We'll need to run some tests to confirm the diagnosis.
