Question

Why do the pregnant woman have thyroid defeciency what actually thyrioid defeciency is how it can be treated?

Answer 1

actually pregnant women hav hyperactive thyroid i.e hyperthyroidism more commonly than hypoactive thyroid.thyroid is a gland{endocrnie gland} located in ur neck which produces thyroid hormones{T3&T4}.these hormones r required for various purposes in our body.when these hormone levels decrease u'll be thyroid deficient.well to treat this u need to take thyroid hormones{T4}.A diabetic[type 1] pregnant woman is more prone to be thyroid defecient.

Answer 2

Thyroid deficiency would mean you don't have a thyroid, so technically there's no such condition. There is however 2 conditions related to your thyroid; underactive and over-active thyroid. These conditions can be caused by a number of things, diet, hormones, allergies, exposure to chemicals etc. There are also a number of ways to treat it, but it usually involves finding the cause of the problem and treating the root problem. It can be treated by drugs, changes in diet (some foods are notorious for causing thyroid problems ie. brussel sprouts). Thyroid problems in pregnant women are probably caused by changes in hormones, and a doctor/naturopath etc would have to treat the problem.

Hope that helps. Good luck

Answer 3

Hypothyroidism, or underactivity of the thyroid gland, is a condition in which the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormone.

The purpose of treatment is to replace the deficient thyroid hormone. Levothyroxine is the most commonly used medication. The lowest dose effective in relieving symptoms and normalizing the TSH is used. Life-long therapy is needed. Medication must be continued even when symptoms subside. Thyroid hormone levels should be monitored yearly after a stable dose of medication is determined.

After replacement therapy has begun, report any symptoms of increased thyroid activity (hyperthyroidism) such as restlessness, rapid weight loss, and sweating.
