Can people with hyperthyroidism get pregnant?

Patient's question:

I am a hyperthyroidism patient. I have never had children because I am afraid that hyperthyroidism will be harmful to the child. Can I get pregnant with hyperthyroidism?

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to conceive with hyperthyroidism. If you are taking medication for hyperthyroidism, it is not recommended to get pregnant. The treatment for hyperthyroidism typically lasts for about a year and a half. You can wait until the hyperthyroidism is cured before trying to conceive to avoid unnecessary interference from medication, which could lead to congenital abnormalities in the baby. Regularly visit the hospital for check-ups to monitor your condition.
