Low iodine foods such as non-iodized salt, tea or coffee without milk, egg white, oats, potato, honey and maple syrup reduce thyroid hormones. Other foods which are good for hyperthyroidism include cauliflower, broccoli, kale, mustard, brazil nuts, chia seeds, mushroom, sunflower seeds, chicken, red meat,cashews, pumpkin seeds and spices (Turmeric, green chilli,black pepper).

I've been dealing with a pituitary macroadenoma for 10 years and have been on cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week since 2016 to manage it. The tumor size hasn't reduced and has stayed the same for the last 3 years. I've been getting treatment at AIIMS since 2014 but really don't want to go for another transcranial surgery since I've already had two before. The meds or hormonal imbalance have also caused low libido and slower semen regeneration. I've tried Poona Hospital, SGPGI Lucknow, and now AIIMS but I'm exhausted from all the medications. Is there any way to remove this tumor completely without another major surgery? Currently taking Wysolone 2.5-5 mg on alternate days, Thyronorm 100 mg daily, and cabergoline 0.5 mg twice a week. What are my options now?

Can I get pregnant with hypothyroidism and irregular periods?

Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) are known to prevent ovulation, the monthly process in which an egg is released to be fertilized. If no egg is released, you can't get pregnant, even if you're having regular menstrual periods.
