Patients with hyperthyroidism need to seek medical attention when they become pregnant and follow the doctor’s instructions for regular checkups and control of their hyperthyroidism.
Patients with hyperthyroidism can usually get pregnant, but they need to stabilize their hyperthyroidism before preparing for pregnancy. During pregnancy, patients with hyperthyroidism need to undergo a good maternity checkup to observe whether there are any abnormalities in the child, such as fetal malformations.
In addition, they should also cooperate with the doctor to standardize the treatment. The principle of treatment of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy is to control the development of hyperthyroidism, but also to ensure the normal development of the fetus, and safely through the pregnancy and delivery. In principle, drug treatment is preferred, and those who cannot be controlled or those who are allergic to antithyroid drugs can be considered for partial thyroidectomy in mid-pregnancy.
The use of iodine 131 for diagnosis or treatment is strictly prohibited during pregnancy.
If you are diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and find that you are pregnant, it is recommended that you go to the hospital and ask the doctor to make a judgment.
