Thyroid gland during ovulation: what is it? What are the effects on fertility?

Thyroid hyperactivity during ovulation, also known as "ovulation thyroid storm," is a rare form of thyroid storm that usually occurs in women with autoimmune thyroiditis. This inflammation causes a decrease in thyroid hormone production, which can lead to a range of symptoms including fatigue, mood swings, weight loss, headaches, and more. These symptoms may affect a woman's fertility, especially if she has autoimmune thyroiditis.

For women with ovulatory thyroid enlargement, doctors usually take the following measures to treat:

1. Drug treatment: Doctors may prescribe drugs, such as antithyroid drugs, to increase the secretion of thyroid hormones, relieve symptoms, and improve fertility.

2. Dietary adjustment: Doctors may advise patients to increase their intake of foods containing thyroxine, such as iodine, vitamin B12, etc., to maintain normal thyroid function.

3. Surgical treatment: For some severe patients, surgical treatment may be required.

In addition to treatment, there are some precautions that need to be followed for women suffering from ovulatory thyroid enlargement. For example, we should pay attention to maintaining adequate rest and sleep to avoid overexertion; we should pay attention to maintaining a good mental state and avoid mood swings; we should pay attention to a healthy diet and avoid overeating or improper eating, etc.

Thyroid hyperactivity during ovulation is a rare form of thyroid storm, but for those women with autoimmune thyroiditis, it can have a negative impact on fertility. Therefore, timely treatment and precautions are very important for women who suffer from thyroid enlargement during ovulation. If you suspect you have this condition, talk to your doctor.
