Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hypothyroidism in Women Living in the Andijan Region

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hypothyroidism are among the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age. These conditions often coexist and have overlapping clinical and metabolic manifestations. The Andijan region of Uzbekistan is known for a high prevalence of iodine deficiency and thyroid disorders. This study investigates the association between PCOS and hypothyroidism among women residing in this region. We conducted a prospective cross-sectional analysis of 120 women aged 18–45 years presenting with menstrual irregularities, infertility, or signs of hyperandrogenism. The study revealed a significant overlap between PCOS and hypothyroidism, emphasizing the importance of integrated endocrine evaluation and management strategies in such populations.
