Pregnancy is a very happy thing for female friends, but it can also bring many problems that they have not encountered before. And even a slight carelessness can lead to unprecedented physical symptoms due to personal reasons. So, can pregnancy cause hyperthyroidism?
1. When there is a significant change in hormone levels in the body after pregnancy, it is easy to induce hyperthyroidism. However, due to individual differences among female friends, many people do not develop hyperthyroidism. Once it occurs, attention should be paid to monitoring the function of the thyroid gland and the values required by the doctor. If diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, regular treatment must be carried out according to the doctor's advice, otherwise it may lead to fetal malformation or intellectual disability in the abdomen.
2. Pregnant women with hyperthyroidism should not consume iodine containing salts or foods. Due to changes in hormones in the body after pregnancy, there may be metabolic problems in the secretion system, which can lead to excessive secretion of thyroid hormones in women. At this time, one must avoid certain foods.
3. Hyperthyroidism will not only affect the intra-abdominal fetus, but also induce pregnancy diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension. So female friends with hyperthyroidism must actively treat hyperthyroidism under the guidance of a doctor, and their thyroid function must be checked every week. Even after delivery, they need to undergo follow-up examinations and should not take it lightly.
