Study on Thyroid Dysfunction in Patients of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding

Abstract

Aim: The purpose of the study was to detect thyroid dysfunction in women who had abnormal uterine bleeding Study Design: Menorrhagia was the most common type of bleeding (36%). Thyroid dysfunction was discovered in 32% of the patients (Subclinical hypothyroidism in 17%, Hyper thyroid is 11% and hyperthyroidism in 4 % of cases). The researchers looked at 100 cases of Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding that were clinically identified at Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital between March 2014 and August 2016. The patients in this study ranged in age from under 20 to 45 years old. The number of instances with DUB who were between the ages of 31 and 40 is 38 %. Methodology: The parity of the patients ranged from unmarried to 0-5, with the parity 2 group accounting for 37% of all DUB patients and the following assessments were made. Results: Thyroid dysfunction was most common in cases of polymenorrhagia (42.8%), menorrhagia (33.3%), polymenorrhea (28.5%), and oligomenorrhea. (26%). Thyroid dysfunction was most common in the age group 31-40 years, accounting for 77.5% of the population. In 17 % of cases, the primary thyroid malfunction was subclinical hypothyroidism. 3% of hyperthyroid patients were also oligomenorrhocic. The most prevalent thyroid disorder in metrorrhagic patients was subclinical hypothyroidism.
