Objective: To determine whether there is Statistical difference in Gynecological symptoms of patients with Dysfunctional Uterine bleedinh who have thyroid stimulating hormone greater and less than 2.5 mIU. Method. Four hundred patients with menstrual symptoms in reproductive age group who presented in Gynecological O.P.D were evaluated for their thyroid function. Those patients whose TSH was greater than 2.5 were made a single group. There symptoms were compared with those which had TSH less than 2.5..It was found out there is statistical significant difference in symptoms of both age group. Requirement of T SH has been changed for first trimester of pregnancy. This cutoff has been reduced to 2.5 uIU/ml. This change has been necessitated to improve pregnancy outcomes. The target organ is the Uterus and ovaries. A study was carried out to see the prevalence of Subclinical hypothyroidism in Gynecological population with TSH > 2.5. This was compared with Gynecological group whose TSH was less than 2.5 uIU/ml. The presence of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and there statistical significance was compared in this group.
