- The main function of the thyroid is to synthesize iodide to thyroid hormone, which affects the oxidation process and iodine metabolism of human tissues, participates in the metabolism of various substances in the body, and affects tissue differentiation, growth and development, gonad development, spermatogenesis of male testicles, and female ovaries. Both the function and the regulation of menstruation have certain effects, and are indispensable hormones in the human body.
- The human body has insufficient intake of iodine, and certain drugs such as sulfa drugs, butapine, thiouracil, etc. can affect the function of the thyroid gland and cause thyroid disease, which leads to infertility.
- Many women have infertility due to thyroid dysfunction. If women have hyperthyroidism, their clinical manifestations are less menstruation, late menstruation, and even amenorrhea; if women have hypothyroidism, their clinical manifestations are more menstruation, early menstruation, and anovulatory menstruation. Both hyperactivity and regression can affect ovulation and cause infertility. If antithyroid drugs or thyroid hormone supplementation combined with traditional Chinese medicine are given correctly, it is believed that infertility caused by thyroid dysfunction will be cured.
