Key Points

The study aims to explore the relationship between sexual function and depressive symptoms in premenopausal women with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC).
Cross-sectional design
Comparison between women with DTC and healthy controls
Assessment of sexual function and depressive symptoms
Evaluation of TSH suppression levels
Women with DTC exhibited higher rates of sexual dysfunction compared to healthy controls.
Depressive symptoms were also more prevalent in women with DTC.
Stronger TSH suppression correlated with greater deterioration in sexual function.

Abstract

Sexual dysfunction and depressive symptoms were more frequent in women with DTC than in healthy controls; moreover, among women with DTC, the greatest deterioration was seen in those receiving stronger TSH suppression. These findings highlighted the need for comprehensive care that includes psychological and sexual health assessment in the long-term management of women with DTC.
