Abstract :

 Thyroid hormones are essential for normal growth and development. Thyroid disorders are associated with a variety of changes in reproductive functions including delayed onset of puberty, menstrual disorders, anovulatory cycles, infertility and reproductive wastage when pregnancy is achieved.

A case control study was conducted in Department of Physiology, Tezpur Medical college, over a period of 6 months. 69 female patients  of 20–35 years,  diagnosed as primary infertility, were included as cases and were  compared with another 69 healthy euthyroid fertile women. Thyroid status was estimated by Radioimmunoassay method.

On comparision of thyroid status between fertile & infertile women it was found to be statistically significant.

 

Summary:

Thyroid disorders  may lead to infertility. Hence, thyroid screening should be included in the infertility workup and  treated accordingly.
