背景:本研究旨在评估甲状腺功能障碍中月经失调的频率和类型。甲状腺功能障碍与月经失调之间的关系已经知道很长时间了。甲状腺功能障碍的女性应检查月经周期。相反,月经不调的女性应进行甲状腺功能异常调查。
方法:纳入到我院内科和内分泌科门诊就诊的最近诊断为甲状腺功能异常的妇女。将患者分为五组(亚临床甲状腺功能减退症,明显的甲状腺功能减退,亚临床甲状腺功能亢进,明显的甲状腺功能亢进,和甲状腺功能正常)根据甲状腺功能。他们被问及金额,频率,和月经出血的持续时间。月经紊乱的患病率,包括继发性闭经,月经过少,月经少发,月经过多,月经多,月经过多,子宫出血,和月经过多,在485名患者和108名健康对照中进行了检查。
结果:明显的甲状腺功能减退症患者(33%)的月经过多明显高于对照组(6%)(p<0.05)。甲状腺功能亢进患者和甲状腺功能正常患者月经紊乱的类型和频率与对照组无明显差异。
结论:月经异常常发生在甲状腺功能异常的女性中。因此,治疗甲状腺异常患者时,应考虑月经功能障碍。
BACKGROUND: This study was designed to evaluate the frequency and type of menstrual disorders in thyroid dysfunction. The relationship between thyroid dysfunction and menstrual disorders has been known for a long time. The menstrual cycle should be checked in women with thyroid dysfunction. On the contrary, women with menstrual irregularities should be investigated for thyroid dysfunction.
METHODS: Women who presented to our hospital\'s internal medicine and endocrinology clinics that recently diagnosed thyroid dysfunction were included. The patients were divided into five groups (subclinical hypothyroidism, overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hyperthyroidism, overt hyperthyroidism, and euthyroid) according to thyroid functions. They were questioned regarding the amount, frequency, and duration of menstrual bleeding. The prevalence of menstrual disturbances, including secondary amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, hypermenorrhea, polymenorrhea, menorrhagia, metrorrhagia, and menometrorrhagia, was examined in 485 patients and 108 healthy controls.
RESULTS: Hypermenorrhea was significantly more common in patients with overt hypothyroidism (33%) than in controls (6%) (p<0.05). The types and frequencies of menstrual disorders in patients with hyperthyroidism and those with normal thyroid function were not significantly different from those in controls.
CONCLUSIONS: Menstrual abnormalities frequently occur in women with thyroid dysfunction. Therefore, menstrual dysfunction should be considered when treating patients with thyroid abnormalities.
