Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, not feeling well all over recently, accompanied by stomach pain, sometimes nausea. After examination, it was found that she had hypothyroidism. She wants to ask, is hypothyroidism difficult to treat during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If there is hypothyroidism during pregnancy, it is easy to cause hypothyroidism in children after birth. Active treatment of hypothyroidism is necessary during pregnancy, and it is not difficult to treat. Regular prenatal screening should be conducted. Newborn disease screening must be done after birth. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own condition to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the room well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
