Answer
Hello. You have hypothyroidism, after thyroidectomy, taking thyroid hormone supplements is mandatory and lifelong. Hypothyroidism can still give birth, but when you give birth, you must see an endocrinologist for monitoring and may have to compensate for higher levels of thyroid hormone than normal.
You can go to the Vinmec Health System Hospital for a doctor's examination and more in-depth advice on this issue. Thank you for trusting and sharing the question “Does taking thyroid hormone pills affect the body and reproductive function? "to Vinmec. Best regards.
