Patient's question:
Does Hashimoto's thyroiditis affect pregnancy? Currently, T3 and T4 are normal, and the last TSH check was 5.00. The doctor recommended medication. Can this condition heal on its own? Can I have a child during this period?Doctor's answer:
Has Hashimoto's thyroiditis. It is a chronic disease. The thyroid-stimulating hormone level needs to be adjusted back to the range of 0.25 to 3.0. You can still conceive. Otherwise, it may interfere with the development of the fetus's nervous system and intelligence. If hypothyroidism occurs again, medication must be taken while monitoring thyroid function data. A low-iodine diet is required, and you should eat less kelp, laver, seafood, and iodized salt.
