Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Researcher Reveals New Findings on Female Infertility (Association between Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Assisted Reproduction Technology Singleton Pregnancies: A...).

A new report discusses research findings on female infertility, specifically the relationship between subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and perinatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies resulting from assisted reproduction technology (ART). The study found that women with SCH had an increased risk of preterm birth before 34 weeks. However, the use of levothyroxine therapy was found to be a significant protective factor against preterm birth. The researchers suggest that universal screening for thyroid function and appropriate hormone therapy in pregnant women may help reduce perinatal risks, including preterm birth.
