Pregnancy and childbirth. Thyrotoxicosis during this period

During pregnancy, when a woman's body is particularly sensitive, the development of thyrotoxicosis becomes especially likely. How to prevent the development of this disease?

Due to the increased concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG for short) throughout pregnancy, the thyroid gland is constantly in a hyperactive state. As a result of such an increased load, certain deviations may occur, including thyrotoxicosis.

This disease is accompanied by increased production of the hormone thyroxine by the thyroid gland. This hormone, released into the blood in excess of its norm, causes pathological changes in the body. Thus, the development of this disease is accompanied by sleep disorders (both drowsiness and insomnia), irritability, fluctuations in body weight, and weakness.

It is believed that the most dangerous period for the development of thyrotoxicosis is the end of the first trimester of pregnancy, but this is far from the case. The fact is that chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is produced unevenly, its concentration in the blood of a pregnant woman increases, then, on the contrary, becomes less.

Since HCG serves as a catalyst to enhance the production of thyroxine, the thyroid gland works more actively at the moment when the blood levels of this hormone are elevated. HCG is produced irregularly, and therefore the hormonal background in the body of a pregnant woman is constantly changing.

In most cases, thyroid treatment during pregnancy is not necessary, since the disease itself most often develops not because of pregnancy, but because a woman has previously had problems with the thyroid gland. In the event that a woman did not feel unwell before pregnancy, then during this period the deviations will most likely be temporary, and will pass without any intervention.

In the event that the condition of a pregnant woman is constantly deteriorating, the number of nodes on the thyroid gland is increasing, urgent and qualified medical help is needed, who will prescribe exactly the treatment that will be most effective and at the same time least harmful to the general condition of the woman and her unborn child. In no case should you conclude that you have thyroid dysfunction without prior tests and without consulting a specialist. Such methods of "self-diagnosis" and "self-medication" can become dangerous not only for your health, but also for the health of your baby.
