“…The study concluded that postmenopausal women should have their serum T3, T4, and TSH levels checked to prevent thyroid dysfunction. Thus, an association between thyroid disorders and postmenopausal women was discovered; however, menopausal symptoms were not examined in their study [ 19 ]. The limitations of the study mainly involved a small sample size which can be overcome in future studies.…”

Background Thyroid hormone has a significant effect on women’s life. Its dysfunction is widespread, particularly among women over 50. Understanding how thyroid disease's clinical symptoms change with aging is crucial when treating peri-and postmenopausal women. Considering that 30% of India's population is female, the thyroid disease epidemic appears to affect Indian women more than any other ailment. Therefore, the main aim of the study was the detection of the frequency of thyroid disorder in pre and postmenopausal women and its association with menopausal symptoms. Methodology An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care centre. All premenopausal and postmenopausal women attending the obstetrics and gynaecology department above 40 years of age, achieving natural menopause, and willing to participate were included in the study. Results A total of 150 women above 40 years of age were included in the study out of which 61 females were premenopausal age and 89 females were postmenopausal age. It was found that 53.3% were euthyroid, 13.3% had hypothyroidism, 3.4% had hyperthyroid, 23.3% had subclinical hypothyroidism, and 6.7% had subclinical hyperthyroidism. Menopausal symptoms when compared to thyroid disorder demonstrated that somatic symptoms did not differ significantly across different thyroid disorder, psychological symptoms consisting of depressive mood was more prevalent among hypothyroid and hyperthyroid female (P<0.05), and urogenital symptoms consisting of sexual problems and bladder dysfunction did not differ significantly (P>0.05) in different thyroid disorder. Conclusion The present study concludes that thyroid disorder is common among pre- and postmenopausal age group women. Therefore, timely detection and intervention should be taken into consideration, and even if the thyroid level is found to be normal still lifestyle modification and counselling can help in improving the quality of life.

The most prevalent endocrine issue affecting women is thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid hormone has a significant effect on women’s life. Its dysfunction is widespread, particularly among women over 50. Understanding how thyroid disease’s clinical symptoms change with ageing is crucial when treating peri- and post-menopausal women. Considering that 30% of India’s population is female, the thyroid disease epidemic appears to affect Indian women more than any other ailment. Detection of frequency of thyroid disorder in pre- and post-menopausal women and its association with menopausal symptoms. This scoping review was done using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses-extension for Scoping Reviews guidelines. Database searches in Pub Med, Web of Science, and Scopus were done. The research question was clarified and modified using keywords. After database searches 10 relevant articles were obtained and were included in this study. A meta-analysis method and extra analytical research carried out in tertiary care center were used to synthesize the findings. Compilation of data extracted from different previous studies done which showed frequency of thyroid hormone changes in women in pre- and post-menopausal age groups from which the conclusion of the present study made. This scoping review highlighted that thyroid hormone dysfunction needs to be correlated to menopausal symptoms. As thyroid hormone dysfunction is common in peri- and post-menopausal age groups, which was seen in many articles that we have reviewed, its correlation to menopausal symptoms is more important. Thyroid disorders can be detected and treated early and improve quality of life. Future research on this correlation is required which was not found in current articles.
