Determination of Thyroid Malfunction in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
نویسنده
چکیده
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and thyroid dysfunction, the two endocrine anomalies have been linked to each other since several years, however most of the researchers have investigated the association between hypothyroidism and PCOS, an inverse relationship of PCOS leading to thyroid dysfunction is now being probed into. Thus this study aimed at looking into the possibility of development of thyroid dysfunction in women with PCOS. 25 women with PCOS from a clinic in Mumbai were subjected to a preformed questionnaire and were analyzed for their anthropometric, biochemical and dietary factors. The thyroid function and thyroid antibody tests revealed a 40% prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in the study group. Women with PCOS and thyroid dysfunction had significantly higher levels of TgAb (t=1.803, p=0.05), TSH (t=6.361, p<0.05) and LH: FSH ratio (t=1.806, p<0.05) from their PCOS counterparts however no significant differences were noted in terms of their symptoms. Thus women with PCOS could be at a risk for development of thyroid disorders and biochemical screening of all the thyroid parameters including that of thyroid autoantibodies is of utmost importance in such individuals.
