Patient's question:
A month and a half ago, the TSH test result was 0.2508, and a month ago, the total T4 test result was 12.23. Below is the result from today's check-up at the city hospital. Could you please tell me if this indicates hyperthyroidism? Will it affect my child? Do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if it is hyperthyroidism, medication is needed to suppress it. Some medications have minimal interference on children, so in this case, the interference on the child should also be minimal. However, it is recommended to pay attention to screening the child's condition during pregnancy, avoid foods high in iodine, such as kelp, seaweed, and seafood! Eat more fruits and vegetables, consume a nutrient-rich diet, and have blood tests for thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4) at regular intervals. Adjust the medication dosage based on the test results!
