Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age.In recent years, a number of publications have reported close association between autoimmune thyroiditis and PCOS.Both the conditions have profound effect on fertility, reproductive biology, and metabolic abnormalities.We conducted this study to evaluate the incidence of autoimmune thyroiditis and compared various PCOS and thyroid related components among autoimmunity positive and negative PCOS cases.We found that 20.3% of PCOS cases had autoimmune thyroiditis, mean anti thyro peroxidase antibody level (Anti –TPO Ab) was 112.49±261.01IU/ml. Autoimmunity was more commonly found in adolescent girls. Thyroid disorders were more common in autoimmune positive cases.We conclude that autoimmune thyroiditis is a common phenomenon in polycystic ovarian syndrome cases and requires close surveillance.
