Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disease, which will affect the health of pregnant women and the development of fetus. This article will introduce the self-care guide for pregnant women with hyperthyroidism to help them better cope with hyperthyroidism.

Treatment of hyperthyroidism before pregnancy

If you plan to get pregnant, it is recommended to actively treat hyperthyroidism first, and then get pregnant after the condition is stable. This can reduce the risk of pregnancy and protect the health of mother and baby.

Take medicine under the guidance of a doctor

Those who are slightly ill after pregnancy can take a proper rest and use a small amount of sedatives. If the condition is serious, you need to use antithyroid drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Don't overdo it.

Postpartum breastfeeding should be cautious

If you need to continue taking antithyroid drugs after delivery, it is recommended not to breastfeed. Newborns should also keep umbilical cord blood for thyroid function examination to ensure normal thyroid function.

Periodic inspection

Pregnancy and childbirth may aggravate hyperthyroidism and even endanger life. Therefore, self-care before and during pregnancy is very important. Most pregnant women can survive pregnancy and delivery safely, but if the condition is serious, the drug dose is too large to control the condition, or other serious diseases are complicated, it may be necessary to terminate the pregnancy early.

Maternal and infant health

Hyperthyroid pregnant women should pay special attention to self-care and doctor's guidance to ensure the health of mother and baby. If there is an abnormal situation during pregnancy, you should seek medical advice in time to avoid the deterioration of your condition.
