Women are more susceptible to thyroid diseases than men due to differences in anatomical and physiological body structure. The thyroid gland plays a vital role in the endocrine system by secreting hormones that impact metabolism, energy levels, and the functioning of various organs in the body. Thyroid-related diseases such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Graves’ disease, pregnancy thyroid disorders, and thyroid cancer are common in women.
Hypothyroidism is characterized by a decline in thyroid function, leading to insufficient thyroid hormone secretion. This condition can cause difficulties in getting pregnant, ovulation disorders, increased risk of ovarian cysts, miscarriages, stillbirths, postpartum hemorrhage
