TSH in pregnant women

Women are the most beautiful and sensitive during pregnancy. During pregnancy, you must pay attention to seeing a doctor and doing physical examinations regularly, so that you can understand the growth and development of yourself and the fetus. Some women have high TSH levels during pregnancy, so what should a pregnant woman do if her TSH level is over 4? Let’s take a look at what to do if pregnant women have high levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone.

What should I do if my thyroid stimulating hormone level in a pregnant woman is more than 4?

1. Before pregnancy, if you find that your thyroid-stimulating hormone level is high, you can see a gynecologist or a doctor from the family planning department, and try to maintain your physical and mental health to ensure healthier and more pleasant pregnancies in the second and third trimesters. Don't believe what you hear on the Internet or people around you say that eating something can increase thyroid-stimulating hormone. This is all unreasonable, because you never know what causes your high thyroid-stimulating hormone level, so don't blindly believe it.

2. After you become pregnant, see a doctor to register. The doctor will ask you to do a series of physical examinations to ensure that you are in good physical and mental health to have a baby. In this series of tests, your thyroid-stimulating hormone will definitely be checked. The gynecologist will determine whether your thyroid-stimulating hormone value is high based on your test report. The thyroid-stimulating hormone level for pregnant women to maintain good eugenics must be lower than 2.5. If it exceeds this level, the doctor will recommend that you see an endocrinologist.

3. When you go to the endocrinology department, you must first tell the doctor that you are pregnant and show the doctor the test results of previous examinations. At this time, the doctor will ask you not to do anything temporarily, and check again after ten days or a month to see if the thyrotropin value shows an upward trend, and then make a judgment.

What is the reason for high levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone in pregnant women?

An increase in TSH indicates that there is insufficient thyroid hormone secretion. There are many reasons for this, including inflammation of thyroid cysts. It may also indicate the existence of autoimmune thyroid disease, and it is necessary to do a full set of thyroid hormone and thyroid antibody tests. It is recommended to go to an endocrine hospital for systematic treatment, otherwise it will have an adverse effect on the fetus.

Pregnant women must undergo regular physical examinations under the guidance of a doctor, understand their own knowledge about high thyroid hormone levels, and do a good job in the treatment of related diseases. The above is the relevant knowledge about 4 points of TSH for pregnant women. I hope it will be helpful to women during pregnancy. I also hope that women during pregnancy can do a good job in facial care.
