Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 21 year old female. I am having hypothyroidism. Will hypothyroidism affect my ability to get pregnant?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There are around 70% of the Asian population suffering from hypothyroidism.You have all the chances of pregnancy. I have seen number of patients with hypothyroidism to have a healthy pregnancy and delivered a healthy baby. Please take your medications properly and have a regular check on the hormonal values. So, relax and do not worry. However, if you have a doubt, then get back to me with reports so that I can guide you further.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
