Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old, usually has no appetite, accompanied by abdominal pain and constipation. At first, she didn't pay much attention, but when she went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that she had hypothyroidism. She wants to consult how to handle hypothyroidism at 35 weeks of pregnancy.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, you are currently 35 weeks pregnant. Even if you have hypothyroidism, medication is not necessary. If you had hypothyroidism in the early stages of pregnancy, you would need to supplement with thyroid hormone. Your current condition is also related to pregnancy, and it could be physiological. There is no need to worry too much; you can wait and see for now. It's appropriate to eat some seafood and undergo a postpartum check-up.Additionally, the patient should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and warmth, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
