The physical and intellectual development of the fetus cannot be separated from nutrition, and the main source of nutrition for the fetus is the dietary intake of pregnant women. In addition to protein, folate, calcium and other substances, DHA is also a very important nutrient that affects the intellectual development of the fetus. Therefore, many pregnant women supplement DHA during pregnancy. However, can pregnant women with hyperthyroidism eat DHA?
Pregnant women with hyperthyroidism can also eat DHA, and they need to control the amount of DHA. Hyperthyroidism has a significant impact on pregnant women, as it is a high metabolic disease that imposes a heavy burden on the body. Pregnant women also bear a heavy burden during pregnancy, especially on the heart. Pregnant women with hyperthyroidism should also assess the severity of hyperthyroidism. When the hyperthyroidism index is high, there is a certain risk to pregnancy, and it may even cause harm such as premature birth or miscarriage.
If a pregnant woman has hyperthyroidism before pregnancy, it is necessary to control hyperthyroidism first before considering pregnancy. If hyperthyroidism occurs during pregnancy, it is necessary to treat it with relevant anti thyroid drugs under the guidance of a doctor and pay more attention to maintenance during pregnancy.
DHA is very important during pregnancy. If lacking DHA, it can cause a series of adverse symptoms in the fetus, such as growth and development delay, intellectual disability, skin abnormalities, etc. Pregnant women can supplement dha through dietary intake, such as fat rich deep-sea fish, such as tuna, sardine, salmon, etc.
