ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED Thyroid disease is a common disorder faced by women of all ages. Because of its high incidence in women, recognizing and treating thyroid dysfunction often becomes the responsibility of the obstetrician/gynecologist. It is important that women's healthcare providers understand how the thyroid's function changes as a woman enters her reproductive years, as well as during pregnancy and menopause. Current guidelines for diagnosing and managing thyroid dysfunction and recommended treatment strategies are discussed in this review. TARGET AUDIENCE Obstetricians & Gynecologists, Family Physicians. LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
After completion of this educational activity, the obstetrician/gynecologist should be better able to evaluate normal thyroid physiology and pathophysiology of thyroid dysfunction; assess appropriate screening options for their patients; and diagnose and manage thyroid disorders common among reproductive-aged women.
