甲状腺功能异常与男性性腺功能减退症

Relationship between thyroid dysfunction and male hypogonadism

甲状腺在维持性腺功能方面起着极为重要的作用.甲状腺功能异常可引起性激素结合球蛋白及性激素水平的变化,进而对男性性功能产生危害,尤其在性激素水平、睾丸功能和性行为方面.当甲状腺功能恢复正常时,性激素及性功能异常即可显著改善.

Thyroid hormones are important in the maintaining of normal gonad functions.It has been shown that changes in sex hormone binding globulin and sex steroids are a consistent feature associated with hyper-and hypothyroidism.Thyroid dysfunction exerts adverse effects on sexual function,especially on sex hormone,testis and sexual behavior.When thyroid function returns to normal after treatment,the symptoms and signs of hypogonadism will be relieved.
