Abstract
Objective: to assess the prevalence of associated benign pathology of thyroid and mammary glands in women with unsuppressed menstrual cycle. Materials and methods: 265 women with unsuppressed menstrual cycle (MC) were examined by the sample method. The examination of the women included ultrasonography of thyroid and mammary glands with the detector-frequency of 7.5 MHz. The thyroid status and clinicolaboratory indicators of the reproductive system were estimated. Results. The prevalence of the associated pathology of thyroid and mammary glands increases with age, which is significantly higher in 45 year or older women group compared to the 18-35 year group (χ 2 = 10,17; р = 0,001). The progesterone, prolactin and follicle-stimulating hormone levels were significantly different in the groups. Conclusion. The received results indicate that the thyroid pathology can be considered as a risk factor for mastopathy development, which requires further studies to be conducted.
