Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I would like to ask if abnormal thyroid function affects the body and pregnancy. If I have hyperthyroidism during pre-pregnancy check-ups, what should I do? Can I have a child at this time?Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis:Hello! Hyperthyroidism is a disease caused by an excessive secretion of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. This condition is more common in women. Excessive thyroid hormones can lead to a series of clinical manifestations, such as intolerance to heat, excessive sweating, increased appetite, weight loss, palpitations, nervousness, and irritability.
Suggestions:
Once pregnancy occurs, the incidence of preeclampsia is 10 times higher than in normal pregnancies, which may trigger a thyroid storm and endanger the patient's life. It is recommended to treat hyperthyroidism before considering pregnancy. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
