Is thyroid disease the cause for infertility and menstrual problems? - Dr. Ambika V

Yes they can be. On an overall basis the thyroid problems have become more due to lifestyle changes food habits, stress , all these things are changed and the incidence has also increased. What we saw about 20 years ago the hypothyroidism or the hyperthyroidism has become more. What is hypothyroidism? The thyroid hormone maintains the BMR or the basal metabolic rate. So basal metabolic rate changes when the thyroid hormones are less, that is hypothyroidism. With Hyperthyroidism this increases. So both of these can cause problems and it affects the menstruation and definitely the fertility also because all these hormones are interrelated. Thyroid hormones, pituitary hormones , ovarian hormones are interrelated and with hypo and Hyperthyroidism, the ovulation or the release of the eggs are affected and in turn it can affect the hormones and the fertility. So as such on an overall basis even without the symptoms also these diseases can present. So when you go to a doctor the doctor will decide if there are some thyroid tests for you or not. The symptoms need not be present because of subtle hypo or Hyperthyroidism. TSH is thyroid stimulating hormones, secreted from the pituitary glands, which increases in Hypothyroidism and decreases in Hyperthyroidism because this is a negative feedback mechanism when you go to the doctor they tests for this. When you have period issues and go to a doctor and correct it if required. And make sure that the TSH is normal whenever you are conceiving because it is very important for the well being of the growing baby.

Understanding Autoimmune Thyroid Disease

Understanding Autoimmune Thyroid Disease

According to the American Thyroid Association, women are five to eight times more likely than men to be diagnosed with thyroid disease. Since two of the most common Thyroid conditions, Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s are autoimmune in nature, their symptoms may often be confused with other health problems, which can make reaching a diagnosis for some, a long and puzzling process.

We are joined by Dr. Mark Lupo, Medical Director of the Thyroid & Endocrine Center of Florida, to discuss the diagnostic journey, the symptoms, the risks and how, due to advances in testing, one result just might provide the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

Thyroid Trouble: 12 Warning Signs

Thyroid trouble comes in several different forms. Some conditions are relatively harmless, like a small, goiter (enlarged gland) that requires no treatment. Other conditions can have a profound impact on the quality of life. Untreated thyroid cancer, of course, can be fatal.

The following is a general list of typical warning signs of various thyroid problems. If your doctor suspects a thyroid disorder of some kind, he or she can order a simple blood test to help diagnose what kind of problem you may have developed.

1. Goiter, in which swelling or enlargement is visible in the neck.

2. Changes in heart rate are typical because thyroid hormones affect metabolism and can influence how quickly the heart beats. A noticeable increase in blood pressure, heart palpitations or the sensation that your heart is pounding are common symptoms of thyroid problems.

3. Changes in energy or mood are typical.

4. An unexplained change in weight is another common sign of thyroid trouble.

5. Dry skin and brittle nails.

6. Numbness or tingling in the hands.

7, Changes in bowel habits, especially frequent constipation.

8. Hair loss is another sign that thyroid hormones may be out of balance.

9. Muscle weakness or trembling, especially of the hands.

10. Feeling too cold or unusually warm occurs because thyroid disorders can disrupt the ability to regulate your bodily temperature.

11. A visible and uncomfortable swelling behind the eyes or other changes in vision.

12. In women, disruption of the menstrual cycle.

The thyroid gland, plays an important role in your reproductive health. It directly affects your ovaries & may result in menstrual irregularities.

Unusual symptoms during your menstrual cycle can be a sign of thyroid issues.

Hypothyroidism can cause heavy & frequent menstrual bleeding & infrequent menstrual cycles. Keep in mind, while hypothyroidism is one potential cause of heavy menstrual bleeding, there are many other potential diagnoses, including fibroids, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), medication side effects, uterine cancer, and infection, among others.
Be sure to see your gynecologist if you are experiencing excessive menstrual bleeding.

Irregular periods can occur from the increase in thyroid releasing hormone (TRH) in women with hypothyroidism.

A lack of thyroid hormone can inhibit ovulation, & can make it difficult to get pregnant. Moreover, women with hypothyroidism who are pregnant have an increased risk of miscarrying during the first trimester.

Some women with hypothyroidism continue to experience abnormal menstrual cycles, despite thyroid medication.

Having regular checkups can help you understand your current health status and help you be on the right path to good health. Talk to a gynecologist online for more info about menstrual issues & thyroid.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped ENDOCRINE gland located in the neck. It is wrapped around the trachea, just below the thyroid cartilage –the Adam’s apple.
The two major hormones of the thyroid are triiodothyronine, T3 and thyroxine, T4. The numbers 3 and 4 indicate the number of iodine atoms present in a molecule of each hormone. T3 and T4 are collectively referred to as THYROID hormones.
Thyroid hormone secretion is under control of thyroid-stimulating hormone, TSH, from the anterior pituitary. TSH, in turn, is induced by thyrotropin-releasing hormone, TRH, produced by the hypothalamus. The amount of circulating thyroid hormones is regulated by a negative feedback loop: when their levels are too high, they SUPPRESS the production of TSH and TRH, consequently INHIBITING their own production.
Thyroid hormones act to INCREASE the body’s metabolic rate. They stimulate appetite, digestion, breakdown of nutrients and absorption. They also increase oxygen consumption, raise the breathing rate, heart rate and contraction strength. As a result, the body’s HEAT production is INCREASED. Thyroid hormone secretion usually rises in winter months to keep the body warm.
Thyroid hormones are also important for bone growth and fetal brain development.
There are 2 major groups of thyroid problems:
HYPOthyroidism: when the thyroid does NOT produce ENOUGH hormones, resulting in a LOW metabolic rate, combined with SLOW respiratory and cardiovascular activities. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain despite poor appetite, cold intolerance, slow heart rate, heavy menstrual bleeding and constipation. Iodine deficiency and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis are the most common causes. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease in which the thyroid gland is gradually destroyed by the body’s own immune system.
Hypothyroidism, especially when caused by iodine deficiency, may lead to swelling of the thyroid gland, known as GOITER. In an attempt to fix the low levels of thyroid hormones, the pituitary produces MORE TSH to further stimulate the thyroid gland. The thyroid, while UNable to make hormones WITHOUT iodine, responds to TSH by GROWING in size.
Hypothyroidism is managed with thyroxine hormone replacement.
HYPERthyroidism: when the thyroid gland produces TOO MUCH hormones, resulting in a TOO ACTIVE metabolism, together with respiratory and cardiovascular rates that are HIGHER than necessary. Common symptoms include irritability, insomnia, weight loss despite good appetite, heat intolerance, heart racing and diarrhea.
Hyperthyroidism is most commonly caused by Graves’ disease, another autoimmune disorder characterized by presence of an antibody, called thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin, TSI. TSI, similar to TSH, stimulates the thyroid gland to produce hormones. Unlike TSH, however, TSI is NOT regulated by negative feedback mechanisms, leading to UNcontrolled production of thyroid hormones. TSI also stimulates the thyroid gland to grow, which MAY lead to formation of a goiter.
Hyperthyroidism may be managed with drugs that suppress thyroid function, radioactive iodine that selectively destroys the thyroid gland, or surgery that removes part of the gland.
