Answer

Hello! You need to have your thyroid hormone levels tested. If the test results show normal levels, you can still conceive and have children. However, if you have hypothyroidism and require hormone replacement therapy, you can visit a hospital in the Vinmec Healthcare System to consult with obstetric specialists for advice and support on suitable reproductive methods.
Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec. We hope to see you soon for further consultation. Wishing you good health. Sincerely!
