Abstract

The objective: to conduct an analysis of the reproductive function of women with genital endometriosis and pathology of the thyroid gland (TG). A retrospective study of 342 cases of endometriosis in women with TG pathology was performed, including 106 patients with endometriosis and hypothyroidism, 92 women with endometriosis and diffuse toxic goiter (ToG), 112 patients with endometriosis and autoimmune thyroiditis. The group of comparison included 32 women with endometriosis. The control group consisted of 30 women without genital and extragenital pathology. The negative influence of the TG pathology (especially hypothyroidism) on the reproductive function of women with endometriosis has been proved. Genital infection aggravates the flow of endometriosis and reduces the effectiveness of its treatment in women with pathology of the TG.

Key words: endometriosis, adenomyosis, hypothyroidism, reproductive function, pathology of the thyroid gland.
