Can hyperthyroidism be inherited?
Hyperthyroidism is not a genetic disease, but if the mother suffers from hyperthyroidism during pregnancy, the child may have thyroid dysfunction. The specific manifestations are slow growth and development, backward intelligence and motor function, and very few patients have symptoms at the age of 4 or 5. If the child's father has hyperthyroidism, the impact on the child's health is generally small. If you are really uneasy, you'd better go to the hospital to check your child's thyroid function.
Can hyperthyroidism affect pregnancy?
Hyperthyroid women often have irregular menstruation, do not ovulate, and are not easy to get pregnant. However, not all women with hyperthyroidism can't get pregnant. For hyperthyroidism women, if radioactive iodine is used to treat hyperthyroidism during pregnancy, the fetus will have serious consequences because of excessive radiation, and the pregnancy should be terminated. If hyperthyroidism patients take oral antithyroid drugs, it may cause fetal diseases, so they should take them under the guidance of a specialist. If the hypothyroidism of pregnant women has a greater impact on the fetus than hyperthyroidism, the abortion rate of the fetus and the perinatal mortality rate are higher. Therefore, it is risky for hyperthyroidism women to get pregnant, which may be unfavorable to both mother and baby. From the perspective of eugenics, it is not appropriate to get pregnant when hyperthyroidism is out of control, but it will be affected when hyperthyroidism is cured. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't be pregnant, but even if you are pregnant, you should pay attention to the use of hyperthyroidism drugs, which will have an impact on the fetus. Therefore, it is suggested to consult endocrinologists and obstetricians before pregnancy, and adjust the medication accordingly.
