Question
Does hyperthyroidism affect children, especially if the mother is diagnosed with it during pregnancy?
Answer
Hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism) may have an impact on children, particularly if the mother is diagnosed with it during pregnancy. If the mother is diagnosed with hyperthyroidism during pregnancy, it is important to regularly monitor the fetus’s condition, avoid consuming high-iodine foods such as seaweed, kelp, and seafood, and increase the intake of fruits and vegetables to maintain a balanced diet. In addition, regular blood tests should be conducted to monitor thyroid function, and medication dosages should be adjusted based on the test results.
