Psoriasis is a common autoimmune disease. It affects women of all ages including reproductive years. Autoimmune diseases including psoriasis are linked to premature ovarian reserve. This study aims to measure serum hormones including FSH,LH,E2,PRL and AMH (indicators of ovarian reserve) in women with and without psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a common autoimmune disease. It affects women of all ages including reproductive years. Almost 75% of patients are diagnosed before the age of 40. There is also increased evidence on autoimmune disease and their link to premature ovarian failure.Ovarian reserve is important for the reproductive period. The measurements of serum hormones including follicle stimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH),prolactin (PRL), estradiol (E2) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) will give us an idea about the ovarian reserve. The investigators aim is to measure ovarian reserve parameters in patients newly diagnosed with psoriasis and to compare them to healthy controls. Serum FSH,LH,E2,PRL and AMH will be measured on the 3rd day of the cycle.The serum hormone levels will be compared between women with psoriasis and women without psoriasis
