Role of thyroid abnormality in perimenopausal abnormal uterine bleeding

Abstract

Background: Diagnosing and treating abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) presents special problems during the perimenopausal era, which often need for a thorough study of contributory variables. Comprehending the relationship between perimenopausal AUB and thyroid function has important therapeutic ramifications that might influence customized treatment plans and enhance patient outcomes. Methods: This prospective research sought to determine the significance of thyroid anomalies in perimenopausal AUB. It was carried out at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Rajashri Chatrapati Shahu Government Medical College, and Chatrapati Pramila Raje hospital. Data was carefully collected over a 6-month period, from April to September 2018, and placed into excel spreadsheets for statistical analysis. The goal of the research is to clarify the connection between perimenopausal AUB and thyroid dysfunction by using the proper statistical tests. Results: Out of 120 individuals with severe menstrual bleeding, 80 had hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism affected 45 hypomenorrhea and irregular menstrual cycle individuals. Thyroid issues are commonly ignored, and patients are given estrogen progesterone tablets without thyroid function testing. Conclusions: By providing insights into its complex etiology and opening the door for more focused therapy approaches in this patient population, this study aims to further our understanding of AUB.
