Can patients with hyperthyroidism get pregnant and will it be inherited?

Patient's question:

Hello, I have recently been undergoing treatment for hyperthyroidism and am just one course away from completing it. When I went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, the doctor told me that I am pregnant. However, my condition has not yet been fully cured. Will this affect my child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is recommended to wait for a period of recovery from hyperthyroidism before getting pregnant, as it can be harmful to the fetus. Antibodies can pass through the placenta and cause hyperthyroidism in the fetus. We know that genetic metabolic diseases in children can cause significant harm to them. If they are not treated promptly or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
