Patient's question:
I am 33 years old, and I am 40 days pregnant. I took medication during pregnancy, Vitamin B4, three times a day, one tablet each time. Can I keep the child? Will it be affected?Doctor's answer:
Based on the medications you are taking, it seems you likely have hyperthyroidism. These medications do not pose significant interference to the child, but hyperthyroidism carries a higher risk for pregnant women. If it is not well-controlled, it can easily lead to a thyroid storm, which is very dangerous. Generally, it is recommended to consider an abortion in the early stages of pregnancy.I advise you to make a careful decision about the child. It is best to cure the hyperthyroidism first, stop taking medication, and then consider having a child. If you insist on keeping the child, it is essential to undergo regular prenatal check-ups and follow up on thyroid function tests as scheduled. Make sure the hyperthyroidism is well-controlled.
