Are There Side Effects of Antithyroid Drugs on Gynecological Health?
Antithyroid drugs can have side effects that may impact gynecological health. Common side effects include agranulocytosis (a severe drop in white blood cells), which can increase the risk of infections including vaginal infections. Hepatotoxicity is another significant side effect, particularly with PTU, requiring regular liver function tests. Rarely, these drugs can cause vasculitis, leading to complications in various organs.
