Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a commonly encountered condition in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Nevertheless, it is unclear whether SCH has any potential impact on the metabolic and reproductive profiles of women with PCOS. Hence, this literature review explores and establishes the link between these two conditions. In women with PCOS, SCH was found to aggravate insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. It was also linked to hormonal imbalances leading to higher infertility rates among the PCOS-SCH group. Therefore, women with PCOS must be screened for thyroid function frequently and managed accordingly.
亚临床甲状腺功能减退症(SCH)在多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)女性中是一种常见病症。然而,尚不清楚SCH是否对PCOS女性的代谢和生殖状况有任何潜在影响。因此,本文献综述探讨并确立了这两种病症之间的联系。在PCOS女性中,发现SCH会加重胰岛素抵抗和血脂异常。它还与激素失衡有关,导致PCOS-SCH组的不孕率更高。因此,必须经常对PCOS女性进行甲状腺功能筛查并相应地进行管理。
