Background: Thyroid disorders and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are two of the most common endocrine disorders in the general population. To study the thyroid profile in polycystic ovarian syndrome.
Methods: 50 cases of women with PCOS based on Rotterdam’s criteria and an equal number of age-matched controls (women without PCOS) were included in the study.
Results: In our study T4 level was significantly lower in PCOS group (0.69± 0.56 ng/ml ) as compare to control (1.87± 0.86 ng/ml ). T3 level was significantly higher in PCOS group (2.38± 1.09 ng/ml) as compare to control (2.11± 1.06 ng/ml ). TSH level was significantly higher in PCOS group (8.12± 6.32 ng/ml ) as compare to control (3.36± 1.06 ng/ml ).
Conclusion: High prevalence of thyroid disorders in PCOS patients thus points towards the importance of early correction of hypothyroidism in the management of infertility associated with PCOS.
