Can hypothyroidism be passed on to a child?

Hypothyroidism, or hypothyroidism, may be passed on to the child if it is caused by an immune system disorder, while it is generally not inherited if it is caused by surgery. Hypothyroidism is a chronic metabolic disease of the endocrine system, commonly caused by Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, which is an autoimmune disease. Due to autoimmune dysfunction, antibodies to globulins and microsomes are produced. This autoimmune dysfunction has a certain genetic tendency and may be passed on to the child, who needs to be checked for relevant antibodies. If the mother’s hypothyroidism is caused by the removal of the thyroid gland, this kind of surgery-induced hypothyroidism is not hereditary, and generally will not be passed on to the child, so there is no need to worry too much about the impact on the child. It is recommended that patients with hypothyroidism go to the endocrinology department of a regular hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
