Sub-Clinical Thyroid Disorders in Women Having Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding
Marwa Ahmad Mokhtar;
Abstract
It is estimated that about one third of all gynecological consultation are carried out for abnormal uterine bleeding, 80% of them are due to hormonal disorders, called dysfunctional uterine bleeding, the other 20% is due to organic causes.
Thyroid hormones directly influence the menstrual pattern through impact on the ovaries and indirectly through impact on SHBG, PRL and GnRH secretion and coagulation factors. Treating thyroid dysfunction can reverse menstrual abnormalities.
The aim of the current study (a cross sectional case control study) is to evaluate the functional status of the thyroid gland in apparently euthyroid women with dysfunctional uterine bleeding. 80 female patients were recruited from out patient clinic of gynecology in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital; they were divided into two groups according to the pattern of their menstrual cycle (study group and control group). All of the patients were subjected to written informed consent, clinical history and examination, pelvic U/S and measurement of thyroid hormones (Free T3, Free T4, and TSH). Finally, all data was statistically analyzed.
