Dr Mrs Alaka Das, Dr. Nilotpal Barua

Abstract :

 Thyroid hormone plays an important role in maintaining normal reproductive functions by   influencing   the hormonal activities of ovaries and interacting with sex hormone binding proteins. The prevalence of thyroid disorders   are influenced by age and sex. Subclinical disturbances of thyroid function are more common in general population and elderly people and routine evaluation of Thyroid hormones  in pre menopausal and post menopausal women  helps to differentiate the subclinical features from the symptoms which are very similar to post menopausal complaints. Study design: A retrospective study is carried out in Jorhat Medical College and Hospital from June 2015 to may 2016.Thyroid Hormone values (T3, T4,TSH)   of 100 female subjects were evaluated and analyzed. Among 100 female subjects 50 were premenopausal and 50 were post menopausal women.  Result: Mean serum T3 , T4 and TSH values were    1.21±.08 ng/ml,8.15±1.12 ug/dl ,2.41 ±1.25   uIU/ml  in premenopausal women and 1.01 ±1.0.03  ng/ml,8.11±1.14ug/dl and  2.85±1.38  uIU/ml in postmenopausal women.Conclusion:T3,T4,TSH levels were altered  in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal  women and there is insignificant rise  of TSH  and T4 value ,  significant  decrease of T3, value in Postmenopausal women  compared to Premenopausal women.
