Hello,
With the question "Which birth control method should I use when I have multinodular thyroid disease?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Regarding multinodular goiter, the term goiter is used. Used to describe an enlarged thyroid gland, which can be caused by an iodine deficiency or another thyroid disorder. Multinodular goiter consists of many distinct masses of the thyroid gland. If you have an endocrine disease but want to prevent pregnancy, you should use a condom or an IUD. In addition, you should not take the pill or get an implant.
If you still have questions about contraception, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
