Can you have children during the medication period for hyperthyroidism?

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 been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can I have children during the medication period for hyperthyroidism?

Doctor's answer:

Men with hyperthyroidism can make their wives pregnant if their thyroid function is adjusted back to normal, and the interference on the fetus will never be significant. Hyperthyroidism is a very treatable condition. First, pay attention to your diet—avoid foods like kelp and nori. Additionally, do not smoke or be exposed to secondhand smoke. If your blood count and liver function are normal, you can take antithyroid medication orally. Maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate your physical and mental health, and keep yourself clean.
