“…This study also found that only 38.1% of participants were aware that thyroid disorders can lead to menstrual abnormalities, although 62.9% of participants were female, while another study conducted in Saudi Arabia reported better knowledge of this symptom with 48.4% of participants identifying it correctly (Mirghani et al, 2023). It should be noted that menstrual abnormalities were reported by around 30% of hypothyroid patients in a recent study (Koyyada, 2020), this suggests that this symptom is quite prevalent among hypothyroid patients. Considering that hypothyroid disorders are estimated to impact around 4-10% of women, there should be awareness of thyroid disorders symptoms within the realm of women's health (Redmond, 2002).…”

Thyroid disorders, despite their prevalence and possible significant complications, remain considerably underdiagnosed. Thus, awareness of thyroid disorders symptoms and risk factors is needed. This study gauged the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Jordanians towards thyroid disorders, using an online survey. The survey assessed knowledge of thyroid function; knowledge of risk factors, symptoms, and treatments of thyroid disorder; and finally, attitudes and practices toward thyroid disorders. The survey was completed by 579 participants, predominantly female (62.9%) and married (68.7%), with a mean age of 41.4. Participants had a mean knowledge score of 7.22 out of 14.00. Specific gaps in knowledge relevant to women’s health were recognized, where a minority recognized symptoms such as menstrual abnormalities (38.2%), and risk factors such as pregnancy (19.3%). Additionally, a minority believed that thyroid medications should not be stopped during pregnancy (31.8%). Better knowledge correlated with perceiving thyroid disorders as common, dangerous, and preventable. Factors predicting higher knowledge included being female, pursuing medical studies, and having a prior thyroid disorder diagnosis. Most participants preferred visiting an endocrinologist (75.6%) over primary care (19.3%) for thyroid-related symptoms. In conclusion, the study recommends targeted public health campaigns to enhance awareness, particularly among women and expectant mothers. Disseminating accurate information through various channels, including primary care centers, is crucial for creating an informed and proactive population regarding thyroid health.

The problems of diagnosis, therapeutic tactics and medical prognosis in comorbid, polymorbid pathology stand out among the most actual problems of modern health care. Purpose - to study the frequency and nature of comorbid conditions in patients with pubertal abnormal uterine bleeding (PAUB). Materials and methods. The study included 342 girls aged 11-17 suffering from PAUB. All patients were examined by a multidisciplinary team of doctors. Results. It has been shown that menstrual irregularities are combined with other somatic, mental and endocrine pathologies in the vast majority of patients. Only 9.6% of the patients examined had no concomitant pathologies. More than half of girls have a combination of more than three comorbidities. The first three ranks are occupied by endocrine, mental and digestive system disorders. More than a third of patients with endocrine disorders had deviations in terms of body weight - overweight and obesity, which is much more often accompanied by changes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. In patients with mental disorders astheno-neurotic syndrome and vegetative-vascular dystonia syndrome prevailed. Functional disorders of the biliary tract were mainly recorded among the disorders of the digestive system, about 18% of girls suffered from gastritis, cholecystitis. The presence of comorbid pathology reduced the effectiveness of non-hormonal therapy by 1.5 times and increased the number of relapses by 3.5-4 times. The effectiveness of non-hormonal therapy was 81.8% on the absence of concomitant pathology; relapses were recorded only in 16.7%. Conclusions. Comorbid pathologies in patients with PAUB aggravate the severity of the girl’s condition, reduces adaptive capabilities, adversely affects the effectiveness of non-hormonal therapy, contributes to the recurrence of the disease and is a risk factor for the development of serious metabolic, endocrine and cardiovascular diseases in the future. The category of patients with concomitant pathology requires a special examination algorithm and the appointment of an adequate therapeutic intervention, taking into account all the identified nosological forms and drug compatibility. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of all participating institutions. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
