Pregnant women may still be unfamiliar with thyroid stimulating hormone, which is a well-known term. The thyroid gland is an important endocrine organ in the human body, and the thyroid hormones secreted can promote tissue metabolism and development, while also playing an important role in improving the excitability of the nervous system. So, what should pregnant women do if their hyperthyroidism index is low?
Pregnant women with low hyperthyroidism index need targeted medication to restore the secretion function of thyroid hormones and avoid causing too much impact on physical indicators. Generally speaking, when the indicators of hyperthyroidism are low, it may have an impact on fetal development. Therefore, during active treatment, it is also necessary to observe changes in fetal development indicators and do a good job in daily care. Usually during pregnancy, it is necessary to pay more attention to dietary combinations, limit the intake of iodine reasonably, and also strengthen nutrient intake to avoid excessive impact on the body.
If the hyperthyroidism index is low and not treated properly, it may cause diseases such as heart failure, preeclampsia, thyroid crisis, miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight in pregnant women. But whether a disease will occur cannot be diagnosed solely based on a low hyperthyroidism index, and a comprehensive diagnosis needs to be made through other examinations and tests.
So, if pregnant women have obvious symptoms of hyperthyroidism or if the hyperthyroidism index continues to be low in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, they should go to the hospital immediately and seek professional medical treatment. They cannot use medication without authorization to avoid delaying the condition.
