Can goiter cause infertility?

Many people may not understand that in addition to the impact and harm caused by goiter itself, goiter will also have a certain impact on women's physical health, because some studies have found that goiter may also cause infertility.

1. Goiter can easily lead to infertility

In daily life, we often hear people talking about goiter. The professional medical name of this disease is goiter. The main cause of this disease in the human body is iodine deficiency.

Don’t simply think that iodine deficiency is a relatively minor symptom. If the above diseases occur due to the lack of this element, it will cause great harm to the human body, because it will not only affect the beauty of women’s appearance, but also cause women to become infertile. Therefore, if a woman finds that her neck is swollen, please go to the hospital for treatment immediately.

2. The relationship between goiter and fertility

Why does having goiter reduce fertility? This is something many people do not understand. In fact, medical scientists have conducted such a survey at the beginning. Among infertile women, it was found that 2.3% of them suffered from hyperthyroidism. If you find that your neck is also swollen, it means that your infertility is closely related to this disease.

When a woman's thyroid function is low, the secretion of thyroid hormones in the body will decrease accordingly, and the body's metabolism will be disrupted. Not only will physical health become abnormal, but dysmenorrhea, menstrual disorders, etc. will also occur, leading to infertility.

3. Dysmenorrhea and menstrual disorders may also occur

The main reason for decreased fertility is that changes in thyroid hormones cause a decrease in women's ovarian function. If women want to get pregnant, the most important thing is to understand why they suffer from this disease.
