It has been recognized that thyroid dysfunction may haveprofound effects on the female reproductive system. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism areassociated with a variety of changes, including delayed onset of puberty, anovulatory cycles, andabnormally high fetal wastage. Hence, this study was conducted to know the thyroid status of thepatient with abnormal uterine bleeding.\r\nMethods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in all the patients with abnormaluterine bleeding in a tertiary care hospital from 2 August 2019 to 2 February 2020. Ethical clearancewas received from the institutional review committee of KIST Medical College. Convenient samplingwas done. Data was collected using a questionnaire which includes patients profile, the pattern ofabnormal uterine bleeding, and thyroid profile. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Packagefor the Social Sciences version 23.\r\nResults: Out of 79 patients, it was found that 67 (84.8%) were euthyroid, 11 (13.9%) were hypothyroid,and 1 (1.2%) was hyperthyroidism. The most common type of abnormal uterine bleeding wasmenorrhagia 34 (43%), followed by polymenorrhoea 23 (29%), oligomenorrhoea 13 (16.5%),menometrorrhagia 6 (7.6%), metrorrhagia 2 (2.5%), and hypomenorrhea 1 (1.3%). The maximumnumber of patients was between 20-25 years with the mean age of 31 years. Among hypothyroid, 7(8.8%) had subclinical hypothyroidism and 4 (5%) had frank hypothyroidism.\r\nConclusions: Most females with abnormal uterine bleeding were euthyroid. Menorrhagia was themost common pattern of abnormal uterine bleeding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31729\/jnma.5033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,2]],"date-time":"2020-11-02T14:36:03Z","timestamp":1604327763000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Thyroid Dysfunction in Patients with Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in a Tertiary Care Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.31729","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Minaxi","family":"Thakur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meenu","family":"Maharjan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heera","family":"Tuladhar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yam","family":"Dwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sunita","family":"Bhandari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Smrity","family":"Maskey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Manisha","family":"Bajracharya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"16919","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,30]]},"container-title":["Journal of Nepal Medical Association"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jnma.com.np\/jnma\/index.php\/jnma\/article\/download\/5033\/3162","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jnma.com.np\/jnma\/index.php\/jnma\/article\/download\/5033\/3162","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,2]],"date-time":"2020-11-02T14:36:07Z","timestamp":1604327767000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.jnma.com.np\/jnma\/index.php\/jnma\/article\/view\/5033"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"225","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31729\/jnma.5033","relation":{},"ISSN":["1815-672X","0028-2715"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1815-672X","type":"electronic"},{"value":"0028-2715","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,30]]}}}
