  • Title: [Thyroid malfunction in women].
    Author: Zárate A, Basurto L, Hernández M.
    Journal: Ginecol Obstet Mex; 2001 May; 69():200-5. PubMed ID: 15326807.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of thyroid dysfunctions is high in women, this female preponderance has been related with a bigger susceptibility to autoimmune abnormalities. Clinical features of thyroid disease have poor specificity and insidious onset. It is recommended to suspect thyroid pathology in the event of postpartum depression, menstrual abnormalities, amenorrhea, galactorrhea, precocious or delayed sexual development, inexplicable sterility or habitual abortus. The difficult in the clinical diagnosis is compensated by the accessibility and relative easiness of the biological diagnosis by means of the thyroid function tests, mainly the measurements of TSH and FT4 levels; thus, gynecological evaluations should be completed by obtaining thyroid function test. An opportune diagnosis of thyroid illness will solve under the best conditions the gynecological dysfunctions.
