Patient's question:
During pregnancy, it is always particularly uncomfortable, and morning sickness is also very severe. What could be the reason for a free thyroxine level of 9.72 during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Your condition may be hyperthyroidism, which refers to a group of diseases characterized by the overproduction of thyroid hormones due to various reasons, either from the thyroid itself or from outside the thyroid. These hormones enter the bloodstream and affect tissues and organs throughout the body, leading to increased excitability and metabolic hyperactivity in multiple systems such as the nervous, circulatory, and digestive systems. It is recommended to undergo T3, T4, and TSH tests. In necessary cases, surgical removal of a portion of the thyroid tissue may be considered.
