Some children have hypothyroidism. At first glance, he is obviously much shorter than his peers and has a slow response. Some children are hyperthyroidism, which is normal at first glance, and height has no effect. But after testing, they found that there were problems in intelligence and personality.
Through chatting, I learned that the children's grades are relatively poor. People with hypothyroidism are less active and less talkative; Suffering from hyperthyroidism, active, emotional, troublesome and fond of fighting. There is a certain relationship between hyperthyroidism and heredity. Many patients with hyperthyroidism have a family history.
There are also precious mothers and women who plan to have children. Check thyroid function and find it early and treat it early, otherwise it will have a great impact on children and will be seriously affected all their lives.
1, the mother who is about to give birth,
2. Pregnant women
The child is short.
The child is mentally retarded.
5. Children are active, easily excited and love to fight.
6. The child is slow and unwilling to communicate with others.
It is found that children are slow in growth and development and mentally retarded. You can't blindly eat calcium tablets to supplement zinc. I have to take my child to have a thyroid function test. Thyroid function will affect children's intelligence and height development.
Children are influenced by thyroid hormones from the fetal period.
Maternal thyroid function in fetal period will affect the intelligence and height development of fetus. After a child is born, his thyroid function will affect his intelligence and development.
Therefore, at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, one of the early pregnancy tests is to specifically check the thyroid function of pregnant women.
The thyroid gland is a very important endocrine organ, and the thyroid hormone it produces has a great influence on the development of human organs and the metabolism of various systems.
First of all, we must clarify two concepts, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is an increase in thyroid hormones, while hypothyroidism is a decrease in thyroid hormones.
Mother's thyroid function mainly affects the baby five months ago. During this period, fetal thyroid begins to form. All the thyroid hormones that babies need need are provided and assisted by their mothers. Thyroid hormone is an essential hormone for the development of brain nerves. If there is too little thyroid hormone, it will lead to cranial nerve hypoplasia. In the later stage, although the baby's thyroid gland is mature and can synthesize thyroid hormone by itself, the mother's influence on the baby is reduced, but the mother's thyroid hormone level will still affect the baby's growth and development, and even life safety.
Therefore, it is very important for pregnant mothers to check thyroid function and keep it stable. How does the mother's thyroid function affect her baby?
1. Mother suffers from hypothyroidism: fetal brain development needs thyroid hormone. At this time, the source of thyroid hormone is the mother. Mother suffers from hypothyroidism, decreased thyroid function and decreased thyroid hormone secretion. The baby may have brain hypoplasia, leading to mental retardation and mental retardation, and the baby born will suffer from dementia (mental retardation and short stature).
2, my mother suffers from hyperthyroidism: during pregnancy, my mother's thyroid hormone level is somewhat high. If you accidentally get hyperthyroidism, the level of thyroid hormone will rise sharply, which will easily lead to miscarriage and premature delivery, and may even cause dystocia due to weak uterine contraction during delivery. The baby is stunted and suffers from congenital hyperthyroidism. Or, the mother's medication during hyperthyroidism may cause the baby's hypothyroidism, causing the baby's central nervous system damage and physical dysplasia.
The mother's thyroid function has a serious impact on the baby and is very important for the baby's growth and development. You must make sure that your thyroid function is normal. If you plan to have children, but you have thyroid disease, you'd better treat your thyroid well before pregnancy.
What should mom do if she finds thyroid abnormalities?
First of all, you must take medicine and eat according to the doctor's instructions. Don't think that taking medicine will affect your baby's backwardness. Not taking medicine at this time will have a bad effect. Secondly, we should do more tests, because we should adjust the dose in time.
1, Children with hypothyroidism: Newborns with hypothyroidism will have nervous system development disorders, which are characterized by lethargy, unresponsiveness, insensitivity to pain, and people may be dull and disown. Their bones are slow, their children don't eat much, their hair is yellow and dry, and their children cry less and sleep more, so they should pay more attention to whether they are hypothyroidism.
Insufficient secretion of thyroid hormone may lead to dementia, mental retardation, mental retardation, short stature, stunted height, much shorter than peers, and unwillingness to communicate with others.
2, the child suffers from hyperthyroidism: hyperthyroidism will not affect the height, but will affect the child's IQ. If you find that your child's mental development is abnormal and obviously lags behind his peers, you should go to the hospital for examination. However, children with hyperthyroidism are not as obvious as adults. The clinical manifestations are that children are easily excited, impatient and out of control, crying and noisy, hyperactive, and abnormal food intake. Children are easily emotional, so if they cry, they should pay attention to whether they are hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are completely opposite, and so is treatment. Do not eat hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
Children with hypothyroidism need to take Eupatorium to supplement the thyroid hormone lacking in the body for treatment. But there are other reasons for hypothyroidism, which may be caused by taking medicine. It is better to save after reducing the dose, which is caused by hypothalamic or pituitary tumor. After treatment, the thyroid gland recovered, and there was also iodine deficiency that needed iodine supplementation.
Children with hypothyroidism should maintain rich nutrition and reduce the intake of fat and cholesterol. They should eat high-calorie foods to supplement their nutrition, such as fish, beef and mutton, eggs and dairy products. They can also eat apricots and eat more seafood, such as kelp and seaweed, which can supplement a lot of iodine.
Children with hyperthyroidism need to eat less seafood and reduce iodine consumption, so iodized salt cannot be used at home. If it is serious, antithyroid drugs should be the first choice, followed by surgery and radioactive iodine treatment.
It should be noted that taking drugs for the treatment of thyroid gland is lifelong, and it is impossible to stop taking drugs, and the recurrence rate is very high.
