Question
Will pregnancy in hyperthyroidism patients pass on genetic disorders to their children?
Answer
Pregnancy in hyperthyroidism patients, who have not fully recovered, may transmit thyroid antibodies to the fetus, thereby increasing the risk of the child developing congenital hyperthyroidism. It is generally recommended that hyperthyroidism patients consider pregnancy only after their condition is stable and they have recovered for a period of time, to minimize the impact on the fetus. If hyperthyroidism is not cured during pregnancy, it is important to closely cooperate with doctors, monitor thyroid function, and appropriately adjust medication treatment to protect the health of both the mother and the fetus.
