In recent years, infertility has plagued many women. Many people have done various tests to give birth to a healthy baby, such as checking fallopian tubes, ovulation and uterine development, but they don’t know that thyroid diseases may also lead to infertility. Many women’s menstrual disorders, amenorrhea, infertility, spontaneous abortion and other problems are likely to be caused by the thyroid gland.

Director Li Zhiwu, a specially invited doctor of Yikang Pharmacy, told the reporter that the onset of thyroid diseases is hidden, the symptoms are atypical, the incidence rate is increasing year by year, and it is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed.
