What is hypothyroidism in pregnant women?

Before the baby is born in the mother's womb, all the nutrients they need must be transmitted by the pregnant mother. If the pregnant mother has any abnormalities and cannot provide the fetus with balanced and sufficient nutrients, or transmits harmful substances to the fetus, it will cause developmental abnormalities of the fetus. In our daily life, many pregnant women suffer from diseases such as hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism in pregnant women has a great impact on the fetus. It is necessary for us to understand what hypothyroidism in pregnant women is.

The full name of hypothyroidism is hypothyroidism. Pregnant women may suffer from hypothyroidism during pregnancy or before or after pregnancy. Hypothyroidism in pregnant women is a series of symptoms caused by insufficient metabolic efficiency due to decreased thyroid hormone in their bodies, which cannot secrete enough thyroid hormone. It is an endocrine disease.

Hypothyroidism in pregnant women will not only cause great harm to the physical health of pregnant women, but also have a serious impact on the development of the fetus. For pregnant women, if they suffer from hypothyroidism, they will experience symptoms such as lack of energy every day, constant sleepiness, rapid weight gain, chills, constipation, memory loss, etc. These symptoms are very similar to pregnancy reactions, so they are often ignored by people, causing the condition to become more serious and causing serious harm to multiple internal organs of pregnant women.

If a pregnant woman's thyroid cyst has serious abnormalities, it will also have a great impact on the development of the fetus.
