Patient's question:
I am a pregnant woman and was recently found to have hypothyroidism. What will happen during pregnancy with hypothyroidism? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hypothyroidism can weaken the body's catabolic metabolism. For pregnant women, hypothyroidism may affect the fetus, especially potentially impacting the development of the fetal nervous system and intellectual development. If a pregnant woman experiences hypothyroidism again, it is necessary to promptly supplement thyroid hormone to correct the condition. Additionally, regular thyroid function tests should be conducted to monitor the complete recovery of thyroid hormone levels.
