Does postpartum hypothyroidism affect the baby?
Women's postpartum hypothyroidism should be avoided, but in addition, it is best for patients with postpartum hypothyroidism to avoid the following two kinds of foods: a diet rich in fat and cholesterol, and a goiter. For patients with postpartum hypothyroidism, there is often hyperlipidemia, especially for patients with primary hypothyroidism. If the diet contains too much fat and cholesterol, it will undoubtedly aggravate the patient's condition and is not conducive to the patient's rehabilitation. As for the food with goiter, it mainly refers to cabbage, cabbage, rape, walnuts, etc. Many people say that walnuts can replenish the brain, so pregnant women and parturients should eat more, but not for hypothyroidism patients.
While reasonably arranging the diet, the parturient should pay attention to the treatment of hypothyroidism when necessary. There seems to be a misconception about the treatment of hypothyroidism, that is, it is necessary to take medicine for a long time or even for life. In fact, hypothyroidism is completely curable as long as you choose the best treatment and targeted treatment.

How long can postpartum hypothyroidism return to normal depends on two aspects, one is the severity of women's illness, and the other is the regulation of children's breast milk during taking drugs. If children can be stopped taking breast milk, I believe that women will be cured in about one to two weeks immediately through drug treatment.

Appropriate iodized salt must also be supplemented during lactation to prevent the mother from missing iodized salt and thus affecting the healthy growth and development of the baby.
