Thyroid disease is very harmful to women, especially to women of childbearing age. It not only threatens their own health, but also threatens the development of their offspring. Here we will introduce the early symptoms of pregnancy hypothyroidism for prevention.

Early symptoms of hypothyroidism in pregnancy?

Many studies have shown that pregnant women with clinical hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism or positive TPOAb can significantly increase the complications of abortion and pregnancy, and cause fetal brain development disorders, resulting in a 6-8 drop in IQ of offspring, Women with these four diseases accounted for 10% ~ 15% of pregnant women.

Hypothyroidism may increase birth defects. New research finds that women with thyroid disease are more likely to have offspring with heart, kidney or brain abnormalities. The study from the United States shows that about 18% of babies born to mothers with thyroid diseases (including mothers with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, especially hypothyroidism) have birth defects (brain, kidney, heart defects, cleft lip, cleft palate, polydactyly, etc.). In the general population, the proportion is only about 3%.

Hypothyroidism not only affects the next generation, but also affects the health of women of childbearing age. Women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, can not get early diagnosis and timely treatment, may cause abortion, premature delivery, placental abruption (very serious complications, will threaten the life of mother and fetus), perinatal fetal death and other adverse production events.

matters needing attention

Hypothyroidism is not a unique disease for women of childbearing age. Both men and women of non childbearing age may be "favored" by hypothyroidism. Recently retired football star Ronaldo ended his sports career ahead of time because of the impact of hypothyroidism on his health. The clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism are similar to "sub-health", such as chills, fatigue, constipation, low appetite, drowsiness, memory loss, weight gain, etc.
