Thyroid disease is one of the most communal health problems faced today. It is a common disorder faced by women of all ages. Because of its high incidence in women, recognizing and treating thyroid dysfunction often becomes the responsibility of the obstetrician/gynecologist. It is important that women's healthcare providers understand how the thyroid's function changes as a woman enters her reproductive years, as well as during pregnancy and menopause.
In your opinion can a gynecologist treat hypothyroidism in pregnant women? Are there any specific guidelines to follow the same?
