Study on Thyroid Hormone, FSH, LH and Prolactin Levels in Patients with Primary Infertility: A Hospital Based study
نویسندگان
چکیده
s The thyroid dysfunction, which is quite prevalent in the population, affects many organs including male and female gonads, thus interfering with the human reproductive physiology. Prolactin has suppressive effect on the pituitary –ovarian axis and may result in amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea due to anovulatory cycles. Hyperprolactinemia is a common problem in reproductive dysfunction, affecting about one third of infertile women. A positive correlation was found between TSH and prolactin i.e elevated TSH levels were associated with elevated prolactin levels in infertile patients. So TSH screening of all females of early reproductive age group should be done so as to detect subclinical thyroid problem and to prevent infertility risk.

Adequate levels of circulating thyroid hormones are of primary importance for normal reproductive function. Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism have no symptoms or very few symptoms related to thyroid disease, but may have adverse outcome on fertility but are not referred to infertility clinics. Galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia patients may have primary hypothyroidism. The aim of this s...

INTRODUCTION The increased prevalence of upper normal limit of TSH and raised anti-thyroperoxidase antibody titer indicate, relatively more frequent occurrence of compensated thyroid function in infertile women. This finding necessitates considering such cases for a thorough investigation of pituitary-thyroid axis. In addition, as some patients may exhibit the clinical picture of hypothyroidism...
