Does hypothyroidism in mothers be inherited to children?

Patient's question:

Once, I had the child checked and they said the child had high antibodies. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about. Now the child is 2 weeks and 7 months old, and all developmental aspects are normal. There's no noticeable difference between the child and other children. I'm wondering if it's still necessary to check again. I'm not sure what to decide, so please give me a detailed explanation.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if the female has hypothyroidism, it will not affect the health of the offspring. However, if the male has it, it needs to be paid attention to. We know that hereditary metabolic diseases in children can cause significant harm to the child. If they are not treated in time 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 the child's condition and take them for treatment in a timely manner.
