Keywords:
thyroid dysfunction, female infertility, hypothyroidism, thyroid autoimmunity, reproductive endocrinology, diagnostic methods, treatment optimizationAbstract
Thyroid disorders are one of the major contributors to women's reproductive health issue that affects ovulation, implantation, and even pregnancy. In this article, through extensive literature review we present the latest methods of diagnosing and treating infertility in females suffering from thyroid disorders. Along with discussing modern diagnostic approaches which involve laboratory tests of TSH, free T4, and thyroid antibodies, we also review the various treatment options like the use of levothyroxine and management of autoimmune conditions.
