How Does Hypothyroidism Affect Gynecological Health?
Hypothyroidism, characterized by low thyroid hormone levels, can lead to oligomenorrhea (infrequent menstrual periods) or amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods). It can also cause infertility and increase the risk of miscarriage and preterm birth. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, and depression, which can also affect overall well-being and sexual health.
