Can hypothyroidism cause miscarriage?

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. Can hypothyroidism lead to miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Hypothyroidism is caused by the generation or excretion of thyroid hormones. If a woman suffers from hypothyroidism during pregnancy, it may lead to miscarriage or abnormal fetal growth and development. Special attention is required during pregnancy, and treatment is highly recommended. Additionally, adequate rest is necessary, and thyroid function indicators should be well-controlled. Regular prenatal check-ups and blood tests should be conducted.
