Women who develop subclinical thyroid issues during pregnancy, meaning symptoms haven't surfaced, could face real thyroid trouble within five years, a new study finds.
These women also had a fourfold greater odds of requiring thyroid replacement therapy within five years of delivering a child, the team reported recently in the journalproblems, said a team led by Dr. Michael Varner, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the university's school of medicine.
These conditions were detected between eight and 20 weeks gestation and, "at 1 and 5 years after delivery, participants were asked whether they had either been diagnosed with or were being treated for a thyroid condition."
