Thyroid Disorders: In Children, Teens and Adolescents

Other symptoms such as behaviour changes, changes in school performance, and persistent belly pain may also be present. When the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone (overactive), the condition is called hyperthyroidism. When the thyroid gland produces too little thyroid hormone (underactive), the condition is called hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone can also lead to   Hypothyroidism in new born. Women are more likely than men to have thyroid disease. One in eight women will develop thyroid problems during her lifetime. For example, women are at particularly high risk for developing thyroid disorders following Infertility, Miscarriage & Complications during pregnancy & childbirth. In women, thyroid diseases can cause problems with your menstrual period, Problems getting pregnant, Problems during pregnancy. Postpartum thyroiditis is a syndrome of thyroid dysfunction occurring within the first 12 months of delivery as a consequence of the postpartum immunological rebound that follows the immune tolerant state of pregnancy. Still, the overall lack of evidence precludes a recommendation for universal screening for thyroid disorder during pregnancy.
