How Does Thyroid Function Affect Reproductive Health?
The thyroid gland produces hormones known as thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are crucial for the normal functioning of the body’s cells. An imbalance in these thyroid hormones can lead to either hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), both of which can adversely affect reproductive health.
