Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. I would like to know if pregnancy will worsen thyroid nodules?Doctor's answer:
After getting pregnant, due to the increased excretion of hormones, the symptoms of thyroid nodules may become milder. If you feel that the symptoms have milder, you can go to the hospital for detailed examinations such as TSH, T3, T4, TPO, and thyroid ultrasound. Depending on the severity, the treatment method will be determined. It is important to always maintain a calm mood and stable emotions, avoid overtime work, ensure deep sleep, engage in appropriate physical activity, and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
