Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between hypothyroidism and sexual dysfunction (SD), highlighting that both overt and subclinical hypothyroidism affect sexual functioning differently in men and women.
- Through a meta-analysis of 7 studies with over 2,600 participants, it was found that overt hypothyroidism significantly increases the risk of SD, especially in women, while subclinical hypothyroidism did not show a strong association.
- The study suggests that healthcare providers should be mindful of the risk of sexual dysfunction in female patients with overt hypothyroidism, whereas subclinical hypothyroidism appears to be less of a concern for both genders.
