Often times infertility issues stem from or involve thyroid-endocrine pathways.
- Reproductive hormones and cortisol have the potential
- to alter the pituitary-thyroid axis
- to alter the percentage of thyroid-binding proteins
- impact thyroid hormone synthesis
- down-regulate peripheral hormone conversion
- promote thyroid receptor resistance
- Doing the right lab work is the only way to distinguish between the patterns so that the specific mechanism involved can be treated.
