Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, hypothyroidism has a genetic component. It is recommended to wait until you are cured before having a baby, as thyroid hormone replacement therapy can be applied. The commonly used medication is Levothyroxine, which generally requires long-term use. Dietary considerations include the following issues. For hypothyroidism caused by iodine deficiency, you can eat some kelp and laver, and use iodized salt and iodized soy sauce. Foods rich in protein, such as eggs, dairy products, various meats, and fish; plant-based protein-rich foods, such as various soy products and soybeans, as well as various vegetables and fresh fruits. Avoid foods that can easily cause hypothyroidism, such as cabbage. Eat less spicy and irritating foods.
