Can people with hyperthyroidism get pregnant?

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 someone with hyperthyroidism get pregnant?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you said, hyperthyroidism patients can get pregnant and conceive normally after controlling the condition. However, if they get pregnant without controlling the condition, it may lead to premature birth, miscarriage, or poor fetal growth and development, and even thyroid storm during delivery or other adverse events. Therefore, women with hyperthyroidism should not rush to get pregnant. They should first actively treat their hyperthyroidism and consider getting pregnant only after the condition is well-controlled.
