Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goitre - what does this mean
Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goitre is a condition that occurs when a baby is born with an underactive thyroid gland, leading to a build-up of thyroid hormone in the blood, resulting in an enlarged thyroid gland (goitre). this condition is usually caused by genetic mutations, iodine deficiency or maternal thyroid antibodies. treatment is essential to ensure normal development.
What happens during the disease - congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goitre
Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goitre is caused by a lack of thyroid hormone production due to a defect in the thyroid gland. this defect can be genetic or due to environmental factors such as iodine deficiency or certain drugs. the lack of thyroid hormone in turn causes an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland, which is known as a goitre. this can lead to further complications such as growth and development delays, mental retardation, and other health issues.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To normalize thyroid hormone levels and reduce the size of the goitre.
- Prescription of thyroid hormone replacement therapy
- Regular monitoring of thyroid hormone levels
- Ultrasound imaging of the goitre
- Administration of radioactive iodine
- Surgery to remove the goitre
- Regular follow-up visits with the endocrinologist

Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goitre - Prevention
Congenital hypothyroidism with diffuse goitre can be prevented by ensuring adequate iodine intake during pregnancy, as iodine deficiency is the most common cause of this condition. additionally, pregnant women should be screened for thyroid function and antibodies, and any abnormalities should be managed appropriately.
