Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a commonly encountered condition in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Nevertheless, it is unclear whether SCH has any potential impact on the metabolic and reproductive profiles of women with PCOS. Hence, this literature review explores and establishes the link between these two conditions. In women with PCOS, SCH was found to aggravate insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. It was also linked to hormonal imbalances leading to higher infertility rates among the PCOS-SCH group. Therefore, women with PCOS must be screened for thyroid function frequently and managed accordingly.

Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a common pathophysiologic feature in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, there have been no studies investigating the association of IR surrogates with pregnancy outcomes in women with PCOS undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Therefore, we explored the association between these factors among PCOS patients.
