Hypothyroidism in pregnancy

Hypothyroidism responds to various causes that would be impossible to develop in this section. But it is important to note that pregnancy did not rise. What's more, when hypothyroidism is very mild, even those that have no obvious clinical manifestation is not uncommon for the pregnancy does not occur or is aborted. During pregnancy are those statements show that hypothyroid were "hidden" by their lack of symptoms.

If you discover a sub-clinical hypothyroidism (one that shows no obvious symptoms), should be treated (either when a woman is looking for a pregnancy or when pregnant.) The administration of thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) is extended until after breastfeeding, always under strict supervision of a medical endocrinologist. The recovery has no association with pregnancy and childbirth depends on the cause and evolution of each individual case.

Sometimes, the treatment must continue for life. This should not desalentarte because, properly medicated, you can have all the children that you propose without consequences.
