What should I do if I have thyroiditis during pregnancy?

  Patient: I am now more than 50 days pregnant, and although I have been treated for Hashimoto’s thyroiditis in my local area, every blood test report always shows that the various values are moving in a bad direction. Are the indicators of both antibodies rising, and is it getting worse?  2. Is it possible to have a baby in my current condition?  3.The medicine I am taking now is Eleven Ginseng Astragalus Tablets (2 capsules 3 times a day) and Thyroid Tablets (half a capsule a day), is this medicine suitable for pregnant women?  4.The doctor prescribed me levothyroxine sodium tablets in the past, but later changed them to thyroid tablets, which one should be taken by pregnant women without affecting the baby?  Reply: 1. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a relatively common autoimmune thyroid disease. There is no ideal treatment for this disease. Thus the high of the two antibodies you do not have to care about them at all, they are high or low and the basic severity is irrelevant. Since this disease can eventually cause hypothyroidism, the basic treatment is often to regulate thyroid function.  2. You can get pregnant with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, but you should be careful to have your thyroid function checked frequently, usually requiring a semi-monthly check of thyroid function. As hypothyroidism can affect the child’s intelligence, so generally hypothyroid patients should be adjusted with medication so that TSH is at or below the low limit of normal values.  3, hypothyroidism is the body thyroid level is lower than normal, so only need to supplement thyroxine can, do not need to take other drugs. The preferred drug is levothyroxine sodium tablets, which is an animal thyroid preparation with unstable content. Also, levothyroxine sodium has a much lower effect on pregnant women.
