    This study found that menstrual irregularities and goiter in young women can indicate subclinical hypothyroidism and secondary hyperprolactinemia. Early diagnosis requires advanced thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and human prolactin (HPRL) testing.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Reproductive Health
    • Thyroidology

    Background:

    • Menstrual irregularities and goiter are common endocrine complaints.
    • Thyroid function and prolactin levels are crucial in reproductive health.
    • Subtle hormonal imbalances can affect women's health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the endocrine causes of menstrual irregularities and goiter in young women.
    • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of dynamic endocrine testing.
    • To identify subclinical hormonal dysfunctions.

    Main Methods:

    • Studied 5 patients (18-31 years) with menstrual irregularities and goiter.
    • Performed TSH, HPRL, FSH, LH, and thyroid scintiscan tests.
    • Included basal, stimulated, and circadian rhythm testing for TSH and HPRL.

    Main Results:

    • Subclinical hypothyroidism was identified in 2 patients via TSH testing.
    • Autoimmune origin confirmed by positive antithyroid antibodies.
    • Secondary hyperprolactinemia detected through HPRL rhythm and TRH stimulation tests.

    Conclusions:

    • Dynamic endocrine testing is vital for diagnosing subtle hormonal disorders.
    • Combined menstrual irregularities and goiter warrant comprehensive endocrine evaluation.
    • Early detection of subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia improves patient management.
