Abstract
Treatment of thyroid gland diseases, especially dysfunction, is important not only for successful pregnancy, but also for correct development of the fetus. In case of incorrect treatment, i.e. insufficient or excessive substitution for women with reduced function may have negative impact for both, mother and child.
Also, treatment of thyroid gland hyperfunction must be balanced exactly, because antithyroid drugs cross placenta. Moreover the increasing age of pregnant women and negative influence of deteriorating environment worsen the health of women and development of children, thus it is very important to try hard about well-timed diagnosis of thyroid gland dysfunction and optimal treatment as well.
Diagnosis and treatment procedures should be based on modern recommendations, worked out by specialist.
