Conventional medicine plays an important role and most of the time is
the first treatment for a couple who for what ever reason cam not
conceive after 1 year of unprotected sexual intercourse or can not carry
the pregnancy to full term. Immune system plays an important role in
protect our body against forming of free radicals and bacteria and
virus, but for what ever reasons, sometime the immune system attack
sperm in the women reproductive organs or sperm in the testes in men,
leading to infertility In this article, we will discuss how anti thyroid
antibodies affects fertility in conventional perspective.
1. Definition
Anti
Thyroid Antibodies are defined as abnormal function of antibodies
produced by immune system act directly against the thyroid gland. It is
caused by inflammation of the thyroid gland, leading to abnormal
production of certain antithyroid antibodies such as antithyroglobulin
and antimicrosomal, causing miscarriage by attacking the placental or
fetal tissues.
2. Causes
a) Hypothyroidism
Study show that
women with low levels of thyroid hormone have high levels antithyroid
antibody compared with other women who do not.
b) Aging
We all
know, as we age, the immune system is no longer function as it should,
leading to infection and inflammation resulting in increasing the risk
of over production of antithyroid antibody.
c) Infection and inflammation
Infection
or inflammation thyroid gland or other part of the body may elevate the
levels of antithyroid antibody as the antibody made by protein of the
immune system become abnormal and attack the thyroid gland tissues
d) Medication.
Medication
use such as cholestyramine, seizure medication and antibiotic may
interferes with the absorption of levothyroxine or speeds the
breakdown of levothyroxine, leading to hypothyroidism resulting in
increasing the risk of antithyroid antibody production.
3. Treatments
a) Selenium supplement
Since
the antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help prevent cellular
damage from free radicals, it also helps to increase immune system in
regulating the production of our body antibody including antithyroid
antibody.
b) Antithyroid medication
Antithyroid medication such as
desiccated thyroid, eltroxin and synthroid help to increase the the
levels of thyroid function by the thyroid gland thereby, affecting the
immune system resulting in lessening the risk of antithyroid antibody
production.
c) Lower levels of cholesterol
Some researcher found
that decreasing the levels of cholesterol in the blood stream may help
to reduce the risk of hypothyroidism thereby, reducing the risk of
elevating the levels of antithyroid antibody
4. Side effects of the medication
a) Heart palpitations.
b) Nervousness.
c) Insomnia.
