Hyperthyroidism is a relatively stubborn disease. During pregnancy, due to the fluctuation of hormone levels in the body, there is a possibility of causing hyperthyroidism. The treatment of hyperthyroidism is a long process, which cannot be separated from the attention and care of pregnant women in their daily lives. So, how to treat hyperthyroidism in pregnant women best?
For the treatment of hyperthyroidism, it also depends on the severity and cause of the disease in order to achieve better treatment. Generally speaking, hyperthyroidism is related to a lack of certain trace elements in pregnant women's bodies. If the symptoms are not severe, pregnant women can improve it through diet. They should eat less foods high in iodine in their daily lives, and hyperthyroidism will gradually disappear naturally.
In addition to controlling diet, regular blood tests should be conducted every month, and it is best to have the same doctor treat pregnant women in a fixed hospital, so as to have a clear understanding of the development of the condition. If the degree of hyperthyroidism is moderate, it is best to treat it with medication. However, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor and not easily taken by oneself. Pregnant women should also pay attention to the hormones in their blood at all times until they reach a level similar to normal.
If hyperthyroidism is severe, even with significant thyroid enlargement or difficulty breathing caused by compression of the trachea, corresponding surgical treatment should be performed. In summary, the treatment of hyperthyroidism in pregnant women also depends on the severity of the condition, in order to achieve better results.
