Infertility is a social problem today. The causes of infertility can be both on the side of the woman and on the side of the man. One of the most common causes of infertility in women is polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It has been proven that it often coexists with autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT), i.e. with Hashimoto's disease. In many patients with PCOS and AIT, endometriosis and celiac disease are also found. It seems that these disorders: PCOS, AIT, endometriosis and celiac disease may have a common autoimmune basis. More and more patients with infertility or recurrent miscarriages have autoimmune problems. Probably a genetic predisposition is necessary to reveal the disease.
