Abstract

It is recognized universally that menstrual disturbances may accompany and even may precede thyroid dysfunction. The objective of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction in abnormal uterine bleeding and correlation with menstrual disorders. The present study was conducted on 100 patients who presented with abnormal uterine bleeding in gynecology OPD VIMS bellary. Among the 100 women 17 (%) had hypothyroidism, 2 (%) had hyperthyroidism and 81 (%) were euthyroid. Menorrhagia was the most common menstrual disorder in hypothyroidism and oligomenorrhoea in hyperthyroidism. In the present study 14(%) patients had proliferative endometrium, 3(%) secretory endometrium of hypothyroid patients and secretory endometrium in 2 (%) hyperthyroid patients. The menstrual irregularities are significantly more frequent in patients with thyroid dysfunction and menorrhagia was the commonest menstrual abnormality.
