Abstract

The effect of metformin on the hormonal and carbohydrate status of 82 infertile women with polycystic
ovary syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance (IR) in combination with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) was evaluated. Depending on the therapy (monotherapy or combination therapy), the patients were divided into groups. Monotherapy with metformin was received by 20 patients with AIT, 20 women with SCH, 20 with normal thyroid function. Combined therapy was received by 12 women with PCOS and AIT, who after three months of using metformin over the next three months, were additionally prescribed selenium-containing medication and 10 patients with AIT and SCH who were additionally prescribed seleniumcontaining medication in combination with levothyroxine at appropriate therapeutic doses according to existing recommendations.
It was established that anthropometric parameters in patients with PCOS and PCOS in combination with AIT and SCH did not differ significantly. It is proved that AIT and SCH worsen carbohydrate metabolism, help to further reduce the level of sex steroid-binding globulin and increase the free androgen index.
Treatment with metformin for six months in patients with PCOS, IR and SCH resulted in a decrease in the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in 35% of cases, but did not change the content of free thyroxine and thyroid peroxidase antibodies (TPO antibodies) in the blood. Three months after the completion of metformin, the level of TSH increased to values that occurred at the start of therapy. The same time, metformin did not affect the indicators of thyroid function in patients with PCOS and euthyroidism and did not change the mean values of TPO antibodies. The use of complex therapy (metformin, levothyroxine and selenium-containing drug) over the past three months has been accompanied by a decrease in hyperandrogenism, a decrease in carbohydrate metabolism disorders, normalization of thyroid status, a decrease TPO antibodies levels in women with PCOS in combination with of AIT and SCH.
At women with PCOS and infertility, it is necessary to screening assessment of thyroid function in order to diagnose of the causes of infertility and timely correction of the revealed thyroid pathology.
