Study thyroid gland hormones in female with polycystic ovary syndrome: A Review

Abstract

  One metabolic syndrome is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) marked by polycystic ovary the hyperandrogenism, and anovulation. PCOS affects 6–10% of women in their reproductive years. It is a common condition. When no other cause can be identified, polycystic ovaries, hyperandrogenism, and/or irregular ovulation are the hallmarks of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Since frank (overt) hypothyroidism is linked to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, weight gain, anovulatory cycles, decreased levels of SHBG, and infertility, it shares several characteristics with the PCOS phenotype. Thyroid disorder screening is part of the recommended baseline screening for women who may be suspected of having PCOS, irregular menses, or infertility.Insulin resistance plays a role in PCOS pathogenesis.
