Thyroidectomy can affect pregnancy, but it is possible to have a normal pregnancy with medication intervention.
The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ with the function of secreting thyroxine, which is closely related to the secretion of female sex hormones. When the thyroid gland is removed, the secretion of sex hormones will also be affected, leading to abnormalities in a woman’s reproductive function, symptoms such as anovulation and luteal insufficiency, which will affect the chances of pregnancy.
Even if the female patient still ovulates after thyroid removal, her conception rate will be reduced and the chance of miscarriage will increase. Thyroxine has the function of promoting the growth and development of human body. After removing the thyroid gland, thyroxine will no longer be secreted, and after pregnancy, the fetus in the womb lacks thyroxine, which will lead to growth retardation, mental retardation and other symptoms.
Therefore, after the removal of the thyroid gland, artificial intervention should be given, and after supplementing thyroxine under the guidance of the doctor, it is also possible to get pregnant, but do not blindly use medication on your own.
