Lactation got hyperthyroidism, can you breastfeed?


Healing with compassion, caring with dedication.
Hyperthyroidism refers to hyperthyroidism. Lactating mothers with hyperthyroidism can breastfeed.
If nursing mothers are taking antithyroid drugs, such as propylthiouracil, although a small amount of drugs may be transmitted to the baby through milk, current research shows that under rational use and close monitoring, the impact on the baby is relatively small. It is generally recommended to take the drug immediately after breastfeeding and try to extend the interval between the next nursing and the drug to reduce the concentration of drugs in the milk. If hyperthyroidism is mild and well controlled, breastfeeding can usually be continued. However, if the disease is severe and serious complications occur, such as heart failure, it may be necessary to comprehensively evaluate the feasibility of breastfeeding.
Rest and maintain a good state of mind during breastfeeding can help control and recover from the disease.
