Can a pregnant woman with hyperthyroidism pass the Down syndrome screening test?

In the daily life of modern people, people have paid more and more attention to their own physical and mental health, but even so, some diseases may still occur. Among them, patients with hyperthyroidism during pregnancy are a special group of people. They need to pay special attention to whether the physical condition of pregnant mothers will affect the fetus in their belly. So, can pregnant women with hyperthyroidism pass the Down syndrome screening during pregnancy examination?

1. Can a pregnant woman with hyperthyroidism pass the Down syndrome screening?

Pregnant women with hyperthyroidism may or may not be able to pass the Down syndrome screening, which is mainly related to the condition of the pregnant woman herself. Of course, hyperthyroidism can easily cause high blood sugar in patients. If a pregnant woman with hyperthyroidism has a blood sugar level greater than 5.1mmol/L, a blood sugar level greater than 10Mmol/L one hour after taking sugar, or a blood sugar level greater than 8.5mmol/L two hours after taking sugar, it means that there is a problem with the blood sugar level of the pregnant woman with hyperthyroidism and she can be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. At this time, blood sugar lowering treatment should be actively carried out, because blood sugar needs to be controlled below 5.3mmol/L, and blood sugar level two hours after a meal needs to be controlled below 6.7mmol/L.

2. Common problems with hyperthyroidism in pregnant women

1. The most important thing for pregnant women with hyperthyroidism is to pay attention to their daily diet. They can eat more high-protein foods and foods rich in vitamins. This can better correct the consumption problem caused by excessive metabolism, thereby improving the condition of hyperthyroidism throughout the body. However, they should minimize the intake of animal protein.

2. Although pregnant women with hyperthyroidism need to be more careful when taking medicines, otherwise it will affect the fetus. However, they should still focus on oral medications that have no effect on the fetus. However, they should pay attention to the dosage not being too much, because if the dosage is inappropriate, it will also affect the growth and development of the fetus's thyroid cysts. Therefore, they should take the medicine under the advice of a reliable doctor.

3. Maintaining adequate sleep is also very important for pregnant women with hyperthyroidism. If pregnant women are usually very tired, it will cause varying degrees of heart problems. Such adverse effects will have a great harm to the growth and development of the fetus. Therefore, when pregnant women have hyperthyroidism, they should pay more attention to rest to avoid causing more unexpected harm to the health of the fetus in the belly.
