If the thyroid gland is high during pregnancy, will the child be stupid?

When a thyroid cyst is diagnosed during pregnancy, the first thing that pregnant mothers think of is whether it will affect the baby. It seems that because of this problem, pregnant mothers have become more and more sensitive, and they can't help worrying whether it will cause brain development disorders in their children. So, are all children born to pregnant women with high thyroid levels stupid?

High thyroid levels during pregnancy are actually caused by an increase in thyroid-stimulating hormone, which is basically classified as subclinical hypothyroidism in clinical medicine. If you encounter such symptoms during pregnancy, you need to supplement thyroid hormone to maintain normal body functioning. Although the child will absorb nutrients from the pregnant mother, high thyroid levels will not affect the child's IQ, nor will the child become a fool. It may just cause complications during pregnancy. As long as the pregnant mother pays attention to improving the level of thyroid hormones, the impact on the child will be very small.

If subclinical thyroid disease occurs during pregnancy, immediate correction will have a relatively small impact on the child and will not affect IQ. Oral supplementation of thyroid cysts with sugar-coated tablets can gradually improve the condition and prevent possible complications during pregnancy.

It is inevitable to have symptoms during pregnancy. As long as the pregnant mother handles them in time, seeks medical treatment immediately and completes them seriously, under normal circumstances, it will not cause any impact on the body or the child. On the contrary, if pregnant mothers worry about their children's health all day long because of these, it will be detrimental to the growth and development of their children.

Causes of delayed language development in children and adolescents

There are various reasons for growth retardation, some are natural processes, some are genetic factors, and some are symptoms. Among them, 80% to 90% of children with growth retardation are due to normal growth gene mutations, such as familial short stature, delayed physical development and low birth weight. These are related to congenital genetic factors or intrauterine dysplasia. Their growth rate is basically normal and does not require special treatment.

For such children, parents should still create good acquired external conditions to promote the maximum development potential. In addition, some reasons are psychological distortions, such as chromosomal abnormalities (Down syndrome, Turner syndrome), genetic metabolic diseases, bone diseases (osteochondrodysplasia), chronic diseases, chronic malnutrition, endocrine diseases (hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism), etc., which cause growth retardation. For these people whose short stature is caused by medical reasons, they should see a doctor for examination, find out the cause of the growth retardation and treat it.
