Why do I still have hyperthyroidism when I am three months pregnant?

You should be very careful when you are three months pregnant. At this time, both the physical health and psychological emotions of pregnant women are extremely unstable. Some pregnant women may even have hyperthyroidism. Medication during pregnancy is very important. Is it good to give pregnant women drugs to treat hyperthyroidism at this time? Why do pregnant women suffer from hyperthyroidism when they are three months pregnant?

A common but little-known pregnancy phenomenon is aversion to certain foods. You may find yourself losing your appetite for foods that you once loved. A pregnant woman told us that she used to love eating pizza very much, but now she can no longer bear the taste of pizza. The smell made her sick. Some pregnant women experience this condition repeatedly. Some pregnant women will continue to experience such sudden changes in appetite during pregnancy. For some pregnant women, these symptoms will disappear naturally after half a month to a month.

Another similar symptom is sensitivity to smells. Even a pleasant smell, such as the aroma of food or perfume, may make you feel nauseous. The smell of freshly mowed grass, gas stations, various foods, cleaning products, perfume, or cigarette smoke can all cause you to feel nauseous. This is the result of estrogen flooding your body.

The uterus expands, causing it to squeeze the stomach and other organs, leading to stomach pain and constipation. In addition, the increase in hormone concentration will lead to slow digestion and hinder the normal digestion of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Taking some prenatal vitamins and mineral nutrients is very important for the development of the fetus.

Slow digestion causes the stomach to secrete more gastric acid to digest food, which leads to stomach pain. Soda or hot water can relieve stomach pain. Smaller, more frequent meals are easier to digest. Drinking water, eating more fruits and vegetables, raisins, and whole grains can help digestion. There are also some daily vitamin supplements that contain ingredients that aid digestion. All of the above can help pregnant women digest.

If you develop hyperthyroidism in three months of pregnancy and want to use medication to treat it, you must consult a doctor before starting the treatment to see if the medication is safe for pregnant women. Taking medication during pregnancy is very dangerous. In order to reduce this risk, pregnant women must take good care of themselves and not let themselves get sick. Only by fundamentally solving the source of the problem can the risk be reduced.
