Patient's question:
My wife only discovered that she had hyperthyroidism during her pregnancy, and the doctor said it was very risky to have the baby. However, she is worried about the possibility of intergenerational inheritance. Will the mother who gets pregnant again with hyperthyroidism pass it down to the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Discovered to have hyperthyroidism only during pregnancy, so it's absolutely essential not to worry too much. At this time, it's crucial to pay attention to the nutritional status of your body. You can still give birth to the baby normally, and it doesn't cause significant interference to the pregnant woman. However, hyperthyroidism has a hereditary tendency. Such babies will not be born with hyperthyroidism, but they have a higher chance of developing it in the future. Therefore, regular prenatal check-ups during pregnancy are necessary to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
