Hello, Mr Surendra ji,

A personalized diet plan should be created in consultation with your gynaecologist and a nutritionist; here are some general tips that might help to keep thyroid levels under check during pregnancy:

Things to Avoid:

1. Soy-Based Products: Soy can interfere with the absorption of thyroid medication, so avoid consuming too much soy milk, tofu, or other soy products.
2. Highly Processed Foods: Avoid processed snacks and sugary foods as they can lead to blood sugar spikes and worsening thyroid symptoms.
3. Raw Cruciferous Vegetables: Vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower contain goitrogens, which can interfere with thyroid function, especially when consumed raw. Light cooking reduces this effect.
4. Gluten: If you have Hashimoto's thyroiditis or gluten sensitivity, avoiding gluten may help reduce inflammation and improve thyroid function.
5. Caffeine: Excessive caffeine (in coffee, tea, or energy drinks) can increase anxiety and interfere with sleep, both of which may worsen thyroid issues.

Recommended Tips:

• Increase Iodine Intake: Ensure you get enough iodine, which is crucial for thyroid function. Iodized salt, seafood, and dairy products are good sources.
• Maintain Selenium Levels: Selenium is important for thyroid health. Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and fish like salmon are rich sources.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and hydrating fluids like coconut water. Proper hydration supports overall health and helps with energy levels.
• Consult with Your Doctor for Supplements: Your doctor might recommend specific prenatal vitamins or supplements that support thyroid function, such as iodine and selenium.

Consult with your gynecologist and nutritionist for a personalized diet plan to ensure optimal thyroid and pregnancy health.

Thyroid issues during pregnancy are quite common and can be managed with proper care. It's important to monitor and maintain healthy thyroid levels to ensure the health of both mother and baby.

Here are a few things to consider:

1. Regular Check-ups: Your wife should have her thyroid levels (TSH, T3, T4) checked regularly, as thyroid function can change during pregnancy.
2. Medication: If prescribed thyroid medication, it's essential to take it as directed to keep hormone levels stable.
3. Diet: Ensure she follows a healthy diet rich in iodine, as it's essential for thyroid health.
4. Doctor Consultation: Stay in regular contact with her obstetrician and an endocrinologist to manage her thyroid condition throughout pregnancy.

Proper management will help reduce risks, and your healthcare team can guide you with the right treatment plan.

Hi Faruk,

Agar aapki wife ke pet mein infection aur paani jama hai (C-section ke 2 saal baad), toh yeh serious ho sakta hai. Infection ka karan alag-alag ho sakta hai. Iska exact reason and treatment option; examination aur investigation reports ke baad hi confirm kiya jaa sakta hai. Kuch cases mein dawaai se theek ho jata hai, lekin agar paani zyada jama hai toh drainage ya minor surgery ki zaroorat ho sakti hai.

Specialist se consult karna zaroori hai. HexaHealth aapko treatment mein madad karega.
