Girls who cannot conceive naturally will rely on artificial insemination technology, and now IVF technology is becoming increasingly mature. However, during the physical examination before undergoing in vitro fertilization, the woman was found to have hyperthyroidism. Although hyperthyroidism has little impact on daily life, the woman is also worried that she cannot undergo in vitro fertilization due to its influence. So, can girls with hyperthyroidism undergo in vitro fertilization?
Whether a girl with hyperthyroidism can undergo in vitro fertilization depends on the degree of hyperthyroidism. It is recommended to treat hyperthyroidism first, so that it can be controlled or cured before accepting in vitro fertilization. This way, the success rate of in vitro fertilization is higher, and girls can conceive faster and give birth to a healthy and intelligent baby.
When there is hyperthyroidism, medication is needed to control it so that it does not worsen. Hyperthyroidism is often treated with medication. If hyperthyroidism treatment drugs are taken during pregnancy, a slight carelessness may affect fetal development, leading to miscarriage, premature birth, or stillbirth, increasing the risk of malformed infants.
The girl's treatment with medication has solved hyperthyroidism, but she cannot immediately undergo in vitro fertilization. Within six months of stopping medication, she needs to observe whether hyperthyroidism has recurred. If there is no recurrence or other abnormalities, the residual drugs in her body will have little impact. At this time, it is better to undergo in vitro fertilization. If hyperthyroidism is treated with surgery, it can be cured for three months before conception.
