Hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism
During pregnancy I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and was put on Thyroxin medication. Till delivery was on Thyroxin 75mg. After delivery Thyroxin dosage was reduced to 50mg. After 3 months of delivery my thyroid profile was Tsh 0.01, t4 15.41, t32.17. so please suggest whether I should stop medication and is my thyroid back to normal once I stop medication.
Hi
Generally some patients detect hypothyroidism in pregnancy
In pregnancy Need of thyroxin is high
After pregnancy some patient not required same dose
Some cases even we will stop
Need check up every three months
And go for TPO antibody test if it is positive
You should take thyroxin as for Physcian advice
