Pregnant women hypothyroidism normal also need to take medicine

Hypothyroidism refers to hypothyroidism. Whether a pregnant woman needs to take medicine when hypothyroidism is normal cannot be generalized and should be decided according to the specific situation.

The requirements for thyroid function vary according to different pregnancies. Even if the current thyroid function index is normal, the fetal thyroid hormone needs may change as the gestational age increases, and drugs may still be needed to maintain the appropriate hormone levels to ensure normal development of the fetus. If it is hypothyroidism caused by autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, although the indicators are temporarily normal, the underlying cause may still exist. There is a risk of recurrence after stopping the drug, and it may still be necessary to continue taking the drug to prevent recurrence of hypothyroidism.

Patients should also follow the doctor's advice for regular reexamination in order to find problems in time and adjust the treatment plan.
