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, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. I would like to know if it is normal to get pregnant with hyperthyroidism.Doctor's answer:
Hyperthyroidism can be managed during pregnancy, and you need to take medication under the guidance of a specialist doctor. This is because the thyroid function indicators of pregnant women differ from those of normal individuals. The control indicators for the early, middle, and late stages of pregnancy are also different. If liver function tests, blood tests, and other thyroid function control results are qualified, there is generally no major issue. However, compared to normal pregnant women, those with hyperthyroidism may be more prone to complications such as premature birth, miscarriage, or fetal growth retardation.
