Original Research Article The Association of Thyroid Profile with Primary Infertility in Females.

In the present study age matched primary infertile females were compared with normal fertile females to assess thyroid status. Serum T3 and T4 levels were increased in patient group than fertile females which is highly significant (p<0.01), While the decrease in serum TSH level in the patient group is also highly significant (p<0.01). 52 % patients were in euthyroid state which directs the clinician to assess other causes of infertility. Study also showed 30 % hyperthyroid and 18 % hypothyroid patients with infertility. This data indicates the association of thyroid dysfunction with infertility. Thyroid profile should be assessed to rule out infertility and the disorder is to be treated accordingly to revert back to fertility. This research also opens the route to rule out other endocrinal disorders associated with infertility
