Maternal hypothyroidism and reproduction.

What is it about?

The balance in the maternal HPTA shows a noteworthy role in the reproduction process. In addition, the maternal thyroid dysfunctions (hypothyroidism) may deteriorate the sperm motility, luteal phase deficiency, reproduction process and sexual activity. The prolonged harmful effects of thyroid abnormalities can increase the egress of free radicals and cause male and female infertility. Thus, the management of the thyroid markers before the marriage and the gestation should be crucial for the endocrine, metabolic, and sexual improvement. This can improve the fertility of both male and female. However, additional studies are needed to discover whether the abnormalities in the maternal HPTA/thyroid gland during pregnancy may cause persistent disturbances in the reproduction process and sexual activity. The urologists and endocrinologists are essential to working together to avoid these unusual disorders. The issue remains open.
