Pregnant women pay the most attention to their own physical health during pregnancy, because the health of the pregnant woman is closely related to the health of the fetus. However, some pregnant women are afraid to take medication during pregnancy because they are afraid of affecting the fetus, such as hyperthyroidism. Many people ask whether hyperthyroidism can heal itself after being diagnosed during pregnancy?
Hyperthyroidism cannot heal on its own. When hyperthyroidism is detected, medication treatment is necessary to improve the condition and cure it.
What to do if hyperthyroidism is detected during pregnancy?
If pregnant women are detected with hyperthyroidism, there is no need to be too nervous. As long as you seek medical attention promptly, keep your thyroid function within normal range, and there are no other changes, termination of pregnancy is generally not necessary.
During treatment, pregnant women need to pay attention to rest, maintain a good mood, and avoid high mental stress; Pay attention to supplementing sufficient calories and nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, and B vitamins; Patients should try to eat less iodine containing foods as much as possible.
If hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is not treated, it may cause miscarriage or premature birth, and may also affect the physical development of the baby. It should be noted that the mortality rate of "hyperthyroidism heart disease" in pregnant women is very high. Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy can lead to changes in cardiovascular function in pregnant women, such as tachycardia, increased heart rate, elevated systolic blood pressure, and even develop into heart failure!
So, if hyperthyroidism is detected during pregnancy, don't skip treatment for fear of affecting the fetus. Just follow the doctor's guidance to take medication, it won't affect the fetus.
