Prevalence of Subclinical & Overt Hypothyroidism in Infertile Women & Evaluation of Outcome Following Treatment of Hypothyroidism

2018

Introduction: The thyroid gland plays a key role in the growth & development, also controls the rate of metabolic processes throughout the body. Thyroid dysfunction is an important contributing factor in female infertility, affecting 2-4% of the population in the reproductive age group. Hypothyroidism affects fertility as it causes hormonal imbalance, anovulation &luteal phase defect. Also, it is often associated with increased prolactin levels. Estimation of thyroid levels is simple & cost effective. It is recommended that estimation of thyroid hormones & serum prolactin levels should be a part of initial workup in an infertility case. Also, hypothyroidism should be managed initially before evaluating other causes of raised prolactin levels. Aim: 1. To estimate the prevalence of hypothyroidism in infertility. 2) To find a correlation between hypothyroidism & raised S. prolactin in infertility. 3) To assess the outcome of infertility after treatment of hypothyroidism. Methodology: A...

Thyroid Dysfunction and Infertility of Women of Reproductive Age

Journal of Pharmaceutical Research International

Autoimmunity of the thyroid gland (TAI) or its dysfunction is quite common among women of reproductive age, and there are suggestions in the literature that they are associated with an unfavorable level of fertility and a negative outcome of pregnancy, as in the case of spontaneous conception or after assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This assumption makes it necessary to screen autoantibodies to thyrotropin (TSH) and thyroid peroxidase among infertile women who have made a number of attempts to become pregnant. Some authors have conducted a number of studies where they have examined the relationship between autoimmunity of the thyroid gland, thyroid function, and fertility. However, there is currently no consensus on the upper limit of the norm for TSH to determine thyroid dysfunction and the limits for intervention. Despite the recent update of the American thyroid Association (ATA) on guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases during pregnancy and the ...
