A professor of obstetrics and gynecology said that the lack of pregnancy may be due to thyroid diseases, such as hypothyroidism or hyperactivity.
A member of the German Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Prof. Carl Oliver Kagan, explained that the reason for this is that the thyroid gland affects the process of maturation of eggs, pointing out that thyroid diseases lead to irregular menstrual cycle and decline in fertility on the one hand, and raise the risk of miscarriage and reduce mental development And the physical embryo on the other hand.
Therefore, women who want to have children should have a test for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) if pregnancy does not occur within six menstrual periods.
