Introduction: Our aim is to investigate whether ovarian reserve is decreased in patients with euthyroid Hashimotos thyroiditis (HT).
Method: Our study included 110 euthyroid HT patients and 72 age matched healthy women (controls; C). In all patients FSH, LH E2, and P levels were measured from blood samples, and ovarian volumes (OV) and antral follicule count (AFC) were measured using ultrasonography at 3rd day of menstruation.
Results: No statistically significant difference was detected in FSH, LH, E2 and P levels between groups (P value respectively; 0.117, 0.420, 0.941, 0.644). Total ovarian volumes were not statistically different between groups (P=0.165). Total AFC were significantly lower in the HT group than the controls (P<0.001). Total AFC were strongly and negatively correlated with AntiTPO (r=−0.215, P=0.004) and AntiTg (r=−0.251, P=0.001).
Conclusion: Our study shows decreased ovarian reserve in HT patients than healthy controls even in euthyroid state.
