This article will explain about what is Congenital Hypothyroidism, Causes, sign and Symptoms and Best Homeopathic Treatment for Congenital Hypothyroidism
Congenital hypothyroidism is a medical condition characterized by an underactive thyroid gland present from birth. The thyroid gland, located in the neck in front of the thyroid cartilage, produces hormones (t3 and t4) essential for metabolism, growth, and development. When the thyroid gland fails to produce the hormones in an adequate amount, it can lead to various health issues.
Causes of Congenital Hypothyroidism
The causes of congenital hypothyroidism can vary, including genetic factors, thyroid gland defects, iodine deficiency during pregnancy, or problems with hormone production. Occasionally in some cases, the causes can’t be traced.
Recognizing the condition early is crucial. Infants with congenital hypothyroidism may exhibit symptoms such as jaundice, poor feeding, constipation, lethargy, and delayed development milestones. Without proper treatment, congenital hypothyroidism can cause significant complications which will affect physical and cognitive development.
Early detection through newborn screening programs is essential for prompt treatment initiation. Investigations such as thyroid function tests (t3, T4 and TSH) and ultrasound will help to confirm the diagnosis and assessment of the severity of the condition.
The primary treatment for congenital hypothyroidism involves hormone replacement therapy to supplement thyroid hormone levels. The primary treatment for congenital hypothyroidism involves administering hormone replacement therapy to supplement thyroid hormone levels. Medication, usually in the form of levothyroxine, is administered orally to maintain hormone balance. Regular monitoring and dose adjustments are necessary to ensure optimal thyroid function.
Untreated congenital hypothyroidism can lead to serious complications, including stunted growth, intellectual disabilities, hearing loss, and developmental delays. Early intervention and strict compliance with regular treatment will help prevent long-term complications.
Understanding the mother's pregnancy history is crucial when dealing with congenital diseases like congenital hypothyroidism. This includes recognizing when the organs form, known as organogenesis. Dr. Hahnemann highlighted this in his organon as the Fundamental cause. Knowing the timeline of pregnancy history is very vital for congenital diseases. For congenital hypothyroidism, understanding when the thyroid gland forms is essential. The thyroid gland starts forming in early pregnancy, usually around the 4th week after conception, continuing until about the 12th week. Recognizing maternal stress during this period from the 4th to the 12th week is crucial for proper diagnosis and the best homeopathic treatment for congenital hypothyroidism.
A compelling example of this approach is Miss A.K., a 14-year-old girl treated at HomoeoCARE in July 2009. She weighed 77.8 kgs and took 175mg/day of Eltroxin for her congenital hypothyroidism. Despite medication, she experienced irregular and delayed menstrual cycles, a bilateral squint, and appeared older than her age. Despite conventional treatment, her TSH level remained high at 6.941 in 2008, indicating thyroid gland dysfunction. However, after three months of homeopathic treatment for congenital hypothyroidism. at HomoeoCARE, her TSH level dropped to 0.36, signalling improved thyroid function. This allowed us to reduce and eventually stop her daily thyroxine dose gradually.
The results were remarkable. Miss A.K.'s weight stabilized, swelling reduced, and squint improved. Her menstrual cycles became regular, and she became more active in school and sports. Most importantly, her thyroid gland which was not producing thyroid hormones started producing hormones independently, liberating her from artificial thyroid hormones.
