Autoimmune thyroiditis and the desire to have children

Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland of autoimmune origin. It can manifest itself in various forms. In Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the most common type, antibodies produced by the immune system begin to consider the thyroid cells as foreign. As a result, the production of thyroid hormones is significantly reduced (hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism). Graves’ disease is less common, which, on the contrary, is associated with the production of antibodies directed against a signaling molecule on the surface of thyroid cells. This leads to the fact that the thyroid cells produce an excessive amount of hormones (hyperthyroidism or hyperthyroidism). Over time, however, many patients also suffer from hypothyroidism. One in six women is prone to autoimmune thyroiditis, and, in fact, about ten percent of them produce autoantibodies. However, the etymology of the disease is still unknown. Scientific research has found a connection with various factors, such as: heredity, excessive intake of iodine-containing medications, hormonal changes during pregnancy or menopause, smoking, and radiation.

Symptoms

With hyperthyroidism, the following symptoms are observed: insomnia, nervousness, hot flashes, rapid heartbeat and hair loss. Hypothyroidism, in turn, manifests itself in weight gain, fatigue, decreased overall work productivity, sensitivity to cold, inattention and can even cause depressive disorders.

Women with autoimmune thyroiditis who want to become pregnant suffer from reduced sexual desire, menstrual irregularities, reduced fertility, and an increased risk of miscarriage. In such cases, infertility treatment with thyroid hormones can promote a healthy pregnancy. The patient herself can increase the effectiveness of treatment by leading a healthy lifestyle and following a diet that takes into account the characteristics of the disease.

Low iodine diet

According to scientific studies, excessive iodine intake worsens the course of the disease. It is necessary to follow a diet low in iodine. Therefore, patients with autoimmune thyroiditis are recommended to abandon iodized table salt, as well as any iodine-containing food supplements.

Vitamins and minerals that boost fertility

Everyone has long known how important it is for the human body to have a sufficient supply of certain vitamins and minerals. All gynecologists recommend taking folic acid and B vitamins, as they perform a protective function at the initial stage of neurological development of the embryo. It is increasingly clear that other vitamins and minerals also significantly affect fertility. Scientific studies have shown that iron and B vitamins are important for a healthy conception.

Selenium

Soils in Europe are not rich in selenium. Accordingly, plants grown in this soil have a low selenium content. Selenium is indicated for autoimmune thyroiditis. But, unfortunately, its content in food is very low. Studies have shown that taking selenium significantly improves symptoms in patients with autoimmune thyroiditis.

Oxidative stress

Although, as mentioned above, the causes of autoimmune thyroiditis are not fully understood, recent studies have shown that oxidative stress can provoke this disease. Oxidative stress is damage to the body’s cells by reactive oxygen species [ROS]. Oxidative stress increases the immunological shock in the thyroid gland. Many experts argue that it is the cause of most of the symptoms. Oocytes are particularly susceptible to attack by reactive oxygen species. Oxidative stress can disrupt the membrane and interfere with protein synthesis, as well as energy production.

Antioxidants

Normally, ROS produced in the body are suppressed by the body’s own defense system. However, if the amount of ROS is too high or the antioxidants are too low, this delicate balance is disrupted and cells are damaged.

Stress, smoking and an unbalanced diet weaken the body’s antioxidant system, in such cases, taking additional antioxidants can improve the symptoms of autoimmune thyroiditis and protect oocytes from the adverse effects of oxidative stress.

B vitamins

Studies have shown that patients suffering from autoimmune thyroiditis are at risk of vitamin B deficiency. In particular, this can be a problem when planning a pregnancy, because vitamin B12 is necessary not only for cell division, but also, in combination with folic acid and vitamin B6, for homocysteine ​​metabolism. Specialists recommend that patients suffering from thyroid diseases additionally take vitamin B.

Taking into account the results of recent studies, a fundamentally new dietary supplement Fertilovit F THY was developed for special medical purposes. It contains all the necessary trace elements that contribute to improving reproductive health and the condition of the thyroid gland.

Scientifically proven effect of the components of the Fertilovit F THY preparation:

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C)

Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant, and like fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E, it protects the body’s cells from oxidative stress. Studies have shown that oxidative stress contributes to the worsening of symptoms of autoimmune thyroiditis, and that taking antioxidants has a positive effect on the condition of patients. Vitamin C also promotes the absorption of iron. However, women should avoid high doses of vitamin C, as it dries out the cervical fluid, preventing sperm from reaching the egg. That is why Fertilovit® F THY contains a relatively low dose of vitamin C. The slow release of vitamin C provides a positive effect for many hours.

Zinc

Zinc is one of the most important trace elements. The human body does not synthesize it, it must come from food. Zinc plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Zinc is also essential for the immune and hormonal systems, as well as for antioxidant enzymes. In addition, zinc is needed for the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, which play an important role in cell division, tissue regeneration and embryonic development. Last but not least, zinc is necessary for the metabolism of thyroid hormones.

Vitamin E

Numerous studies have shown that taking vitamin E can improve fertility. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E contribute to improving the condition of oocytes, as it protects them from the harmful effects of oxidative stress.

Niacin

Niacin belongs to the group of B vitamins. It is present in every living cell and can be concentrated in the liver. It creates an important building block of various coenzymes and is involved in basic metabolic processes. In addition, it has antioxidant properties.

Vitamin B1

Thiamine or vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin. It supports the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2 or riboflavin is colloquially called the “growth vitamin”. It is an important precursor of coenzymes, that is, it plays a fundamental role in metabolism.

Vitamin B5

Vitamin B5 or pantothenic acid is necessary for the formation of coenzyme A. The coenzyme plays an important role in metabolism. It is involved in the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, and is crucial for the production of cholesterol, which is needed for the synthesis of steroid hormones, many of which significantly affect reproduction.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6 is commonly used to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome and menopause. Recent studies have shown its importance for reproductive health. Vitamin B6 is involved in the metabolism of homocysteine, a potentially dangerous amino acid, which it converts into other, harmless molecules. Vitamin B6 deficiency is manifested by hyperhomocysteinemia, which negatively affects fertility.

Vitamin B12

Recent studies have shown that vitamin B12 may contribute to fertility and reduce the risk of miscarriage. Like vitamin B6, it is necessary for the degradation of homocysteine. A 2006 study showed that patients suffering from autoimmune thyroiditis are at risk of developing vitamin B12 deficiency.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 regulates the metabolism of phosphorus and calcium, is necessary for normal growth and bone formation. In addition, it is necessary for the normal development and functioning of the nervous and muscular systems.

Folic acid

Folic acid is easily destroyed during long-term storage and heat treatment of food, so many people are prone to its deficiency, despite the fact that it is contained in large quantities in fruits and vegetables. Folic acid deficiency in pregnant women increases the risk of developing birth defects and neural tube defects in the fetus, for example, spina bifida. Folic acid has antioxidant properties. Together with B vitamins, it participates in the degradation of homocysteine, a potentially dangerous amino acid, which it converts into other, harmless molecules. Increased homocysteine ​​levels are known to lead to infertility, impaired placental function and an increased risk of miscarriage. A Polish study published in 2003 showed that the quality of oocytes of women who took folic acid during infertility treatment improved.

Biotin

Biotin belongs to the group of B vitamins. It is a component of enzymes and is involved in basic metabolic processes. It is also known to be involved in epigenetic regulation of gene function. Animal studies have shown that biotin deficiency reduces fertility and increases the risk of developing birth defects.

Magnesium

Magnesium deficiency is not uncommon during pregnancy. This is due to increased magnesium excretion, on the one hand, and the child’s need for magnesium, on the other. The first symptom of magnesium deficiency may be cramps in the calves, it can also manifest itself in increased excitability of the uterine muscles and, worst of all, provoke premature birth.

Iron

Iron, the main component of hemoglobin, is considered an indispensable building nutrient of blood. It is also necessary for the normal metabolism of thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism, however, is associated with reduced iron absorption, which leads to an increased risk of iron deficiency. Women with iron deficiency are at increased risk of reduced fertility, as iron is known to promote fertility and support ovulation. In addition, experts recommend checking hemoglobin levels when planning to conceive, as iron requirements increase during pregnancy.

Selenium

Studies have shown that taking selenium in high doses can improve symptoms of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis due to two of its properties. First, selenium is needed for the metabolism of thyroid hormones. Second, selenium has antioxidant properties and can counteract reactive oxygen species, which are formed as a by-product of thyroid hormone synthesis.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is needed for energy production in mitochondria. Of all the cells in the body, oocytes contain the largest number of mitochondria. In women over 35, mitochondrial dysfunction is usually observed, which reduces their energy production and leads to an increase in ROS (reactive oxygen species) and, therefore, to oxidative stress, which reduces the quality of oocytes. Experts believe that this may be one of the main reasons for the age-related decline in fertility. For a long time, it seemed that there was no need for supplements containing coenzyme Q10. However, recent studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 levels can significantly decrease with age. As expected, studies have shown a significant improvement in embryonic development after taking coenzyme Q10.
