CLINICAL AND ANAESTHETIC RELEVANCE OF THYROID DYSFUNCTION IN ABNORMAL UTERINE BLEEDING - A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

BACKGROUND 
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is a prevalent reason for gynecological outpatient visits and surgical interventions. Thyroid function, assessed through T3, T4, and TSH levels, is crucial in evaluating AUB cases, particularly when there is no prior thyroid disorder. Elevated TSH levels without abnormal T3 or T4, despite the absence of hypothyroidism symptoms, are often observed.
