Abstract:
The intricacy of the cause of human infertility and the challenges associated with its prevention, diagnosis, and treatment make it a global health concern. High prolactin levels and thyroid disorders are thought to be significant contributors to infertility. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the correlation of serum prolactin and thyroid profile with infertility. The study design was a randomized case-control study conducted at Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex, Lahore. The subjects of the study included 100 infertile and 100 fertile women in the age group of 18-40 years attending Gynecology in the Outpatient Department (OPD) during the study period of 8 months from September 2022 to April 2023, whereas data was analyzed using SPSS 24.0. When compared to fertile females, the study discovered that the mean thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and prolactin levels in infertile females were substantially greater. On the other hand, the levels of triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) were significantly low in infertile women. When compared to the control group, the experimental group had a higher prevalence of hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia. This study showed that primary and secondary infertile patients had hypothyroidism that led to hyperprolactinemia. Therefore, in order to manage infertility cases appropriately, thyroid dysfunction may need to be identified and properly treated.
