At-home fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty test for women<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Thy\u00adroid func\u00adtion can play a role when try\u00ading to con\u00adceive. TSH is there\u00adfore one of the sev\u00aden hor\u00admone val\u00adues<\/a> mea\u00adsured by our at-home fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty test for women. In addi\u00adtion to TSH, AMH, FSH, LH, estra\u00addi\u00adol, pro\u00adlactin, and testos\u00adterone are mea\u00adsured. The results are eval\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded by spe\u00adcial\u00adist physi\u00adcians and explained clear\u00adly for you\u2014conveniently from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\nGo to the fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty test<\/span><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n Hypothy\u00adroidism is usu\u00adal\u00adly treat\u00aded with levothy\u00adrox\u00adine (L\u2011thyroxine). The med\u00adica\u00adtion replaces the thy\u00adroid hor\u00admone T4, which the body does not pro\u00adduce in suf\u00adfi\u00adcient amounts in the case of under\u00adac\u00adtiv\u00adi\u00adty. The required dose is adjust\u00aded indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u00adly based on thy\u00adroid val\u00adues. <\/p>\n\n In sub\u00adclin\u00adi\u00adcal hypothyroidism\u2014i.e., an ele\u00advat\u00aded TSH lev\u00adel with nor\u00admal fT4\u2014treatment is not required in every case. Whether levothy\u00adrox\u00adine is appro\u00adpri\u00adate depends, among oth\u00ader fac\u00adtors, on the lev\u00adel of TSH, addi\u00adtion\u00adal thy\u00adroid find\u00adings, and whether preg\u00adnan\u00adcy exists or is planned. <\/p>\n\n Women with already known and treat\u00aded hypothy\u00adroidism should have their thy\u00adroid val\u00adues checked, if pos\u00adsi\u00adble, before a planned preg\u00adnan\u00adcy. If there is an indi\u00adca\u00adtion for treat\u00adment, levothy\u00adrox\u00adine can and should also be con\u00adtin\u00adued dur\u00ading preg\u00adnan\u00adcy. Because the need for thy\u00adroid hor\u00admones often increas\u00ades dur\u00ading preg\u00adnan\u00adcy, reg\u00adu\u00adlar mon\u00adi\u00adtor\u00ading is impor\u00adtant and the dose may need to be adjust\u00aded. A TSH lev\u00adel out\u00adside the ref\u00ader\u00adence range may indi\u00adcate altered thy\u00adroid func\u00adtion. For fur\u00adther clas\u00adsi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion, the free thy\u00adroid hormones\u2014especially fT4\u2014are tak\u00aden into account. <\/p>\n\n A low TSH lev\u00adel may indi\u00adcate hyper\u00adthy\u00adroidism. Pos\u00adsi\u00adble caus\u00ades include, for exam\u00adple: <\/p>\n\n Graves\u2019 dis\u00adease is an autoim\u00admune con\u00addi\u00adtion in which anti\u00adbod\u00adies against the TSH recep\u00adtor (TRAb) stim\u00adu\u00adlate the thy\u00adroid and can there\u00adby trig\u00adger increased pro\u00adduc\u00adtion of thy\u00adroid hor\u00admones. In addi\u00adtion to the thy\u00adroid, the con\u00addi\u00adtion can also affect oth\u00ader organs, espe\u00adcial\u00adly the eyes. <\/p>\n\n An ele\u00advat\u00aded TSH lev\u00adel, by con\u00adtrast, may indi\u00adcate hypothy\u00adroidism. A com\u00admon cause is Hashimoto\u2019s thy\u00adroidi\u00adtis, an autoim\u00admune dis\u00adease of the thy\u00adroid. How\u00adev\u00ader, whether there is actu\u00adal\u00adly hypothy\u00adroidism requir\u00ading treat\u00adment does not depend on the TSH lev\u00adel alone. <\/p>\n\n Hypothy\u00adroidism can present with var\u00adi\u00adous, often non-spe\u00adcif\u00adic symp\u00adtoms. Espe\u00adcial\u00adly when try\u00ading to con\u00adceive or plan\u00adning a preg\u00adnan\u00adcy, it can be impor\u00adtant to detect an exist\u00ading thy\u00adroid con\u00addi\u00adtion ear\u00adly and treat it if nec\u00ades\u00adsary. <\/p>\n\n Pos\u00adsi\u00adble symp\u00adtoms of hypothy\u00adroidism include:<\/p>\n\n Because these symp\u00adtoms can also have many oth\u00ader caus\u00ades, hypothy\u00adroidism can\u00adnot be diag\u00adnosed based on symp\u00adtoms alone. For clar\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion, thy\u00adroid val\u00adues are mea\u00adsured in the blood. <\/p>\n\n Hashimoto\u2019s thy\u00adroidi\u00adtis is an autoim\u00admune dis\u00adease of the thy\u00adroid. The immune sys\u00adtem tar\u00adgets com\u00adpo\u00adnents of thy\u00adroid tis\u00adsue. Over time, thy\u00adroid func\u00adtion can decline and hypothy\u00adroidism may devel\u00adop. Typ\u00adi\u00adcal find\u00adings include ele\u00advat\u00aded TPO anti\u00adbod\u00adies; thy\u00adroglob\u00adu\u00adlin anti\u00adbod\u00adies (Tg anti\u00adbod\u00adies) may also be detectable. <\/p>\n\n Hashimoto\u2019s is rel\u00ada\u00adtive\u00adly com\u00admon in women of repro\u00adduc\u00adtive age and can there\u00adfore also play a role when try\u00ading to con\u00adceive. Thy\u00adroid dys\u00adfunc\u00adtion can affect the cycle and fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty, among oth\u00ader things. Stud\u00adies also show asso\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtions between autoim\u00admune thy\u00adroid dis\u00adease and var\u00adi\u00adous repro\u00adduc\u00adtive fac\u00adtors. How\u00adev\u00ader, the extent to which thy\u00adroid autoimmunity\u2014independent of thy\u00adroid func\u00adtion itself\u2014affects fer\u00adtil\u00adi\u00adty has not yet been con\u00adclu\u00adsive\u00adly clar\u00adi\u00adfied. <\/p>\n\n When try\u00ading to con\u00adceive, the key fac\u00adtor is there\u00adfore pri\u00admar\u00adi\u00adly whether the thy\u00adroid pro\u00adduces suf\u00adfi\u00adcient hor\u00admones. If Hashimoto\u2019s is asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded with hypothy\u00adroidism requir\u00ading treat\u00adment, it is treat\u00aded with levothy\u00adrox\u00adine, and thy\u00adroid lev\u00adels should be checked already before preg\u00adnan\u00adcy. Pos\u00adi\u00adtive thy\u00adroid anti\u00adbod\u00adies alone, by con\u00adtrast, do not auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly mean that treat\u00adment with levothy\u00adrox\u00adine is nec\u00ades\u00adsary. <\/p>\n\n Post\u00adpar\u00adtum thy\u00adroidi\u00adtis is an inflam\u00adma\u00adto\u00adry autoim\u00admune dis\u00adease of the thy\u00adroid that can occur with\u00adin the first year after child\u00adbirth. It affects about 5\u201310% of women after preg\u00adnan\u00adcy; it is more com\u00admon in cer\u00adtain risk groups. <\/p>\n\n Typ\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, an ini\u00adtial phase with ele\u00advat\u00aded thy\u00adroid hor\u00admone lev\u00adels may occur, fol\u00adlowed by a phase of hypothy\u00adroidism. How\u00adev\u00ader, not all women go through both phas\u00ades. Some expe\u00adri\u00adence only a hyper\u00adthy\u00adroid or only a hypothy\u00adroid phase. <\/p>\n\n In the ear\u00adly phase, symp\u00adtoms such as pal\u00adpi\u00adta\u00adtions, rest\u00adless\u00adness, sleep dis\u00adtur\u00adbances, or weight loss may occur. In the lat\u00ader hypothy\u00adroid phase, fatigue, weight gain, con\u00adsti\u00adpa\u00adtion, dry skin, or depres\u00adsive mood are pos\u00adsi\u00adble. Because some of these symp\u00adtoms are also com\u00admon in the post\u00adpar\u00adtum peri\u00adod, the con\u00addi\u00adtion is not always rec\u00adog\u00adnized imme\u00addi\u00adate\u00adly. <\/p>\n\n Immuno\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, post\u00adpar\u00adtum thy\u00adroidi\u00adtis resem\u00adbles Hashimoto\u2019s thy\u00adroidi\u00adtis and is often asso\u00adci\u00adat\u00aded with TPO anti\u00adbod\u00adies. Whether treat\u00adment is nec\u00ades\u00adsary depends on the phase and the sever\u00adi\u00adty of symp\u00adtoms. In many women, thy\u00adroid func\u00adtion nor\u00admal\u00adizes again with\u00adin 12 to 18 months; how\u00adev\u00ader, in some, per\u00adma\u00adnent hypothy\u00adroidism per\u00adsists. ![](\"https:\/\/kinderwunschaerztin.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Hormonelle-Stimulation-1.png\" "\\"Hormonal")
