Patient's question:
I have hypothyroidism for about two years. Can I have children? Some doctors advised me not to have children, saying it would be dangerous. Is that true? Please help me, experts. Thank you very much!Doctor's answer:
Hypothyroidism requires long-term thyroid hormone replacement therapy. It is recommended to continue taking levothyroxine, regularly check thyroid function, and adjust the dosage of levothyroxine based on the test results. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are abbreviations for hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, respectively. It is a clinical syndrome caused by a lack of thyroid hormones, leading to a decrease in the body's metabolic activity. Western medicine methods can also be used, such as supplementing with iron, vitamin B12, etc. Other medications, such as TH replacement therapy, are also available.
