Dr Madhurima Bora, Dr Arpana Hazarika

Abstract :

 Infertility is defined as the failure of a couple to achieve conception (regardless of cause) after one year of unprotected and adequately timed intercourse. Hormonal disorders in females mainly relate to the aberrant dysfunction of hypothalamic pituitary ovarian axis. 

Aim:

 

To determine whether there is any association between Thyroid hormones and Prolactin in the infertile females.

Method and Materials:

 

In this study 62 hyperprolactinaemic infertile females and 62 healthy fertile females were taken and Serum Prolactin, TSH and FT₄ were analysed in Access 2 immunoassay analyzer of Beckman Coulter following the principal of chemiluminescence.

Results:

 

From the study it was found a significant increase of TSH level and decrease of FT₄ level in infertile hyperprolactinaemic females, when compared with the fertile female. In infertile females, the TSH level has a positive correlation and the FT₄ level has a negative correlation with Prolactin.

Conclusion:

 

The Thyroid hormones and Prolactin estimation must be mandatory while investigating an infertile female.
