Can you get pregnant after thyroidectomy?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it is definetly possible to get pregnant after thyroidectomy but you may face some challenges due to secondary hypothyroidism post surgery. A study published in August 2015 in the "Journal of Pregnancy" found that women with hypothyroidism were less likely to become pregnant and more likely to take longer to become pregnant than women without the condition. You need to consult a doctor and take treatment accordingly.

A 30-year-old woman can generally become pregnant after a thyroidectomy, provided her thyroid hormone levels are well managed. Key points to consider include:

Thyroid Hormone Replacement: a. Lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy is usually necessary to maintain normal hormone levels.
-
Fertility Impact: a. Properly controlled thyroid hormone levels typically allow normal ovulation and fertility.
-
Pregnancy Management: a. Close monitoring by an endocrinologist and obstetrician during pregnancy is important to adjust hormone doses and ensure maternal and fetal health.
-
Potential Risks: a. Untreated or poorly managed thyroid hormone levels can affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes, but with good management, many women have successful pregnancies.
Discuss with your healthcare provider about your thyroid hormone status and plans for pregnancy to ensure the best care.

View allI'm currently taking Eltroxin 75 mg for my thyroid first thing in the morning before breakfast. I usually like to have a glass of lemon juice with honey as part of my morning routine. Is it okay for me to drink the lemon juice and honey before taking my Eltroxin? If it is, how much time should I wait after having the juice before taking my tablet? Would really appreciate your guidance on this.
In the morning, you can take Lemon Juice with Honey before taking Eltroxin 75 mg. However, it is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour after consuming the juice before taking the Eltroxin tablet for optimal absorption and effectiveness of the medication.

I'm really worried because my height hasn't increased at all since I was in 7th grade, and now I'm already 17 years old. Is there anything I can do about this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
In summary, if your growth plates are still open, there may still be some opportunity for growth. However, if they are closed, height growth is likely to stop. Focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting good nutrition, staying active, and keeping your posture good. If you're still concerned, consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation of your growth potential.

My mom's been dealing with Hypothyroidism, and we recently discovered that her Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies are at 230, TSH is 25, and her Phosphorus and Calcium levels are high at 8 and 10.1. Her ECG results are also abnormal, showing T Wave issues, abnormal sinus rhythm, lateral ischemia, and possible left atrial enlargement. Given all of this, should we be worried about this being an emergency or needing angioplasty, especially since she's already got hypothyroidism and kidney problems?
