Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the incidence of sexual dysfunction in presence of dysthyroidism and the impact of restoring euthyroidism on female sexual function

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Hormonal component plays a crucial role in sexual function. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism may be associated with any form of sexual dysfunction in men but only a few studies reported the relationship between thyroid dysfunction and female sexuality.

The study is an observational study. An informed consent will be obtained from all patients before the study.

The aim of the study is:

* to evaluate the incidence of sexual dysfunction in presence of dysthyroidism and the impact of restoring euthyroidism on female sexual function (evaluated with the Female Sexual Function Index)
* to evaluate the influence of hormonal changes on the emotional and psychological wellness (evalueted with the Middle Sex Hospital Questionnaire)
* to evaluate the influence of hormonal changes on the satisfaction of body image (evalueted with the Body Uneasiness Test)
* to evaluate the influence of hormonal changes on the distress related to sexuality (evaluated with the Female Sexual Distress Scale).

The investigators espect to enroll a total of 50 sexually active hyperthyroidic/hypothyroidic women in this study in about 7 months. Statistical analyses will be performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences
