The influence of three thyroid function tests on pregnancy

The three thyroid function tests are a must-do test during prenatal check-ups. Their main purpose is to check the thyroid hormone status of pregnant women. Because the quality of pregnant women's thyroid hormone has a great impact on pregnancy, whether it is hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, it will have a certain impact on the fetus and the pregnant woman. Therefore, it is very necessary for pregnant women to conduct three thyroid function tests in time to detect thyroid disease as early as possible.

The three thyroid function tests are also called thyroxine tests. It is a method of testing the hormones related to thyroid gland in the blood, and then reflecting the individual's thyroid gland metabolic capacity based on the test results. Generally speaking, the three thyroid function tests include elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone, dispersed triiodothyronine and dispersed thyroxine. Testing the three thyroid function items has a great impact on pregnancy, because the normality of the three thyroid function items can affect the growth and development of the fetus, mainly manifested as follows.

The three thyroid function tests can detect the thyroid hormone status of pregnant women. If the pregnant woman's thyroid function test shows hyperthyroidism, then hyperthyroidism may cause miscarriage, premature birth, fetal malformations and other adverse pregnancy conditions during pregnancy, which has a great impact on the growth and development of the fetus and the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman. In addition, if the pregnant mother has hyperthyroidism, the pregnant mother will also be accompanied by symptoms such as palpitations, irritability, weight loss, sweating, dizziness, etc. Excessive thyroid hormone will also cause confusion or hindrance to the baby's development. Therefore, it is very necessary for pregnant women to conduct three thyroid function tests in time and treat hyperthyroidism in time.

On the other hand, if the three thyroid function tests of a pregnant woman show hypothyroidism, the impact on the fetus cannot be ignored. In the early stages of pregnancy, when the fetus's thyroid hormone is not yet fully developed, the mother needs to metabolize sufficient thyroid hormone to assist the baby's development. If the pregnant mother cannot secrete enough thyroid hormone to help the baby and maintain the growth and development of the fetus, it may cause the fetus's organ language development to be delayed, leading to serious hazards such as brain development disorders. On this basis, if pregnant women conduct three thyroid function tests in time, deal with the symptoms of hypothyroidism in time and receive comprehensive treatment, then the harm of hypothyroidism to the fetus can be greatly reduced.

This is a detailed introduction to the effects of the three thyroid function tests on pregnancy. As the main method to test the thyroid hormone of pregnant women, the three thyroid function tests have very prominent clinical effects. If a pregnant woman suffers from hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism and does not receive comprehensive treatment, it will cause many adverse effects on herself and the fetus. Therefore, pregnant women should do regular prenatal checkups. Once abnormal thyroid hormone is found, timely and comprehensive treatment should be given.
