matters needing attention

In this regard, I would like to remind you that women with hyperthyroidism are often accompanied by infertility. Their pregnancy rate is low, abortion rate is high, dystocia rate is also high. At the same time, fetal dysplasia and infantile stupidity may also occur. Because patients need to insist on antithyroid drug treatment every day, commonly used drugs such as methylthiouracil, propylthiouracil, etc. can enter the fetus through the placenta. When the dose is too large, it can lead to fetal brain dysplasia and affect the future intellectual development. The influence of antithyroid drugs can also lead to fetal goiter, inhibition of thyroid function and hypothyroidism. Severe goiter may increase the difficulty of fetal delivery, and easily cause fetal asphyxia during labor. Other adjuvant drugs for hyperthyroidism may also have adverse effects on the fetus.
