What is the connection between Thyroid & PCOS? | Veera Health
If you have been diagnosed with both hypothyroidism and PCOS, you are not alone. These two conditions are known to commonly occur together — a number of studies show that there is a significantly higher prevalence of hypothyroidism, especially Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), in women with PCOS than in women without PCOS.
Scientists believe that some women may be genetically susceptible to an overactive immune system, and a chronically overactive immune response may be at the root of both hypothyroidism and PCOS. When your immune system is overactive, it attacks the body itself and this is called auto-immunity. HT is known to be caused by an overactive immune system that attacks your body’s own organ, the thyroid, a butterfly shaped gland located in your throat, which releases hormones to maintain your metabolism (energy usage). When your immune system attacks the thyroid, it results in lower production of important thyroid hormones, which leads to hypothyroidism symptoms like weight gain. Some research also suggests a possible role of auto-immunity in the development of PCOS.
To help you understand the link between Thyroid and PCOS better, we are here with an explanatory video on how inflammation, increased male hormones and high estrogen to progesterone ratio play a major role in supporting the link between 2 disorders.
