Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have a marriage offer but the girl has hypothyroidism. She is currently taking 75 micrograms Thyroxine from one year and now TSH is 15. I am worried will it create complications in pregnancy in the future. I do not want any risk. Should I accept the offer or reject it? Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for entrusting me with such an important decision in your life. Hypothyroidism if well controlled has fewer chances of pregnancy complications. If uncontrolled it is associated with pre-eclampsia, preterm labor. But as she is on 75 dose, it can be further increased to 100 or 125 mcg under an endocrinologist observation. I do believe if well controlled it will not affect her fertility or pregnancy outcomes.

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