Patient's question:
Doctor, I recently want to have a child and have been preparing for a long time. These days, I happen to be pregnant, but I have hypothyroidism. Some people say it can be inherited across generations. I would like to ask, can hypothyroidism in a mother be inherited to the next generation across generations?Doctor's answer:
This has a certain probability. Hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism) may be inherited over generations. Additionally, a pregnant woman's hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism) may interfere with the child's intellectual development. Hashimoto's thyroiditis may be hereditary, but if hypothyroidism is caused by a deficiency in thyroid hormone production, it may also be hereditary. However, it is not absolutely guaranteed to be inherited over generations.
