Hypothyroid

Asked for Female, 6 years

I am a hypothyroid patient. How many chances are there that any of my babies can have this disease too? Should I take my 1.5 year old daughter for the test or is too early

Dear Patient,

I'm sorry to hear that. Anything that our parents may have or is in their genes even if it doesn't appear( like your sister may have hypothyroid genes too but may not have the disease) makes our chances more of having the disease ofcourse. But there's no reason to get her tested and treated unusually. Kindly wait and be positive that it won't happen iA.
Hypothyroidism isn't a life-threatening illness and can be supported with treatment.

For further consultation, you can choose from our list of best Endocrinologists in Lahore and seek in-person advice.
