Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough of certain hormones. Having hypothyroidism disrupts the balance of chemical reactions in the body and while it usually doesn’t cause symptoms in the beginning, if untreated, it can lead to a number of health problems, including joint pain, obesity, heart disease, and infertility.Thyroid hormones have numerous effects on a woman's reproductive system.
