The physical health of pregnant women is directly related to the health of the fetus. If pregnant women suffer from serious diseases, they may need to make a choice between disease treatment and fetal health. Therefore, pre pregnancy and prenatal examinations are essential. So, does hyperthyroidism in pregnant women affect the results of NT?
Even if pregnant women suffer from hyperthyroidism, most of them will not affect the NT results. NT examination focuses on the nuchal translucency of the fetus, with the aim of checking for chromosomal disorders or fetal abnormalities caused by various reasons. Generally speaking, NT examination should be performed between 10 and 14 weeks of pregnancy, which is the most suitable time. Otherwise, whether it is early inspection or delayed inspection, it may lead to errors in the inspection results. NT examination is voluntary and pregnant women in need can participate.
Pregnant women must not relax their prenatal check ups, regularly monitor the development of the fetus, and have thyroid function rechecks to avoid hypothyroidism and other harm to the mother and fetus. If medication cannot be used during pregnancy, surgical treatment in mid pregnancy (4-6 months) can be considered, with the option of local anesthesia and necessary measures to protect the fetus.
Hyperthyroidism combined with pregnancy can lead to rapid and complex changes in the condition, involving multiple disciplines. Therefore, pregnant women in the late stages of pregnancy should be hospitalized in advance to avoid sudden complications.
