Patient's question:
16 weeks of careful examination revealed that I have a thyroid problem. I went to the endocrinology department and was told to wait a month for another thorough check-up. Is this problem serious? Will it affect the child? Could it be related to my diet? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
Hypothesis: Based on the problem you provided, abnormal thyroid function during pregnancy should not necessarily be related to consuming sweets. I am unaware of which specific thyroid function test was abnormal. Abnormal thyroid function can be classified as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, so dietary restrictions for hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are different. Therefore, I suggest you send over your thyroid function test results so that dietary guidance can be provided specifically for your condition. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
