Zusammenfassung

Die Abklärung der Schilddrüsenfunktion hat sowohl bei der Betreuung von Kinderwunschpatienten als auch bei Patientinnen mit Zyklusstörungen einen besonderen Stellenwert. Basale Kenntnisse über endokrinologische Zusammenhänge sind bei der Betreuung solcher Patienten erforderlich. Der folgende Beitrag versucht, einen Überblick über das Gebiet der Schilddrüsenerkrankungen in Bezug zu unerfülltem Kinderwunsch zu geben.
