title: [Assessment of thyroid gland function in unwanted infertility--indications for TRH test and clinical impact from the viewpoint of the endocrinologist].
abstract: Disorders of thyroid function may cause infertility in women. Substitution with thyroxine will facilitate conception not only in women with manifest hypothyroidism, but also in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. Thus, any screening program in female infertility should include a TRH-test.
