“…The presence of increased TPOAb levels may identify women at risk for developing hypothyroidism after OS or during gestation and be a predictive marker for the development of post-partum thyroiditis [95]. Furthermore, women with PCOS, POI, and idiopathic subfertility have a higher prevalence of TAI and serum TSH levels compared with fertile women [6, 9, 25]. Serum TSH levels >3.5 mIU/L are associated with impaired ART outcomes, and LT4 treatment can increase LBRs in women with TSH levels >4.0 mIU/L [11, 14].…”

“…TAI is the major cause of (subclinical) hypothyroidism in Europe and is more prevalent in women with idiopathic subfertility and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) than in fertile women [6, 7]. The prevalence of TAI is also higher in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and premature ovarian insufficiency [8, 9]. Furthermore, serum TSH levels are inversely correlated with the anti-Müllerian hormone, an accurate marker of the ovarian reserve [9].…”

Severe thyroid dysfunction may lead to menstrual disorders and subfertility. Fertility problems may persist even after restoring normal thyroid function, and then an assisted reproductive technology (ART) may be a solution. Prior to an ART treatment, ovarian stimulation is performed, leading to high oestradiol levels, which may lead to hypothyroidism in women with thyroid autoimmunity (TAI), necessitating levothyroxine (LT4) supplements before pregnancy. Moreover, women with the polycystic ovarian syndrome and idiopathic subfertility have a higher prevalence of TAI. Women with hypothyroidism treated with LT4 prior to ART should have a serum TSH level <2.5 mIU/L. Subfertile women with hyperthyroidism planning an ART procedure should be informed of the increased risk of maternal and foetal complications, and euthyroidism should be restored and maintained for several months prior to an ART treatment. Fertilisation rates and embryo quality may be impaired in women with TSH >4.0 mIU/L and improved with LT4 therapy. In meta-analyses that mainly included women with TSH levels >4.0 mIU/L, LT4 treatment increased live birth rates, but that was not the case in 2 recent interventional studies in euthyroid women with TAI. The importance of the increased use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection as a type of ART on pregnancy outcomes in women with TAI deserves more investigation. For all of the above reasons, women of subfertile couples should be screened routinely for the presence of thyroid disorders.

It has been confirmed by growing evidence that common hormone replacement therapy is associated with an increasing risk of causing cardiovascular disease and cancer, while complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is gaining popularity and application in more and more patients with premature ovarian failure (POF). Although there is little data concerning the clinical safety and efficacy of CAM, the literature includes application studies on the phytoestrogen-rich herbal, acupuncture treatment and intervention therapy. This article reviews recent literature on CAM therapy for POF, aiming to provide theoretical support for clinical application.
