High thyroid stimulating hormone in early pregnancy is considered as subclinical hypothyroidism or clinical hypothyroidism, and thyroxine tablets may be required as prescribed by the doctor.
Thyroid stimulating hormone is secreted by the pituitary gland and its main function is to promote the production of thyroid hormone. There is a negative feedback between it and thyroid hormone, so that if the level of thyroid hormone is lowered, the thyroid stimulating hormone will be high.
If thyroid stimulating hormone is high and thyroid hormone is normal during pregnancy, it suggests subclinical hypothyroidism. If thyroid stimulating hormone is high and thyroid hormone is low, it is clinical hypothyroidism, and it is necessary to improve the thyroid-related antibodies, thyroid ultrasound, etc., to assess the severity, and to take levothyroxine sodium under the guidance of the doctor to maintain normal thyroid function.
Early pregnancy with high thyroid stimulating hormone is recommended to consult a doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor’s treatment.
