Answer
Yes, hypothyroidism can indeed contribute to infertility in both women and men. Hypothyroidism means that your thyroid gland isn't producing enough thyroid hormone. At SCI Hospital, we explain that these hormones are crucial for many body functions, including the reproductive system. In women, low thyroid levels can lead to irregular periods, problems with ovulation (the release of an egg), and an increased risk of miscarriage. In men, it can affect sperm quality, reduce sex drive, and cause erectile dysfunction. The good news is that hypothyroidism is often treatable, and managing it can significantly improve fertility.
