Patient's question:
After the IUD removal, I have been experiencing a decrease in menstrual flow for 4 consecutive months, which only lasts for one day. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the endocrine system was found to be normal, but it was said that my thyroid TSH is slightly above the upper limit. I want to have a second child, so the doctor recommended taking half a month of levothyroxine. After taking it, the follow-up test results are as follows. Please help me, experts, to see if there are any other problems, whether I need to continue taking medication, and whether I have hyperthyroidism. The following are the results of two tests. How can I take care of myself?Doctor's answer:
Levothyroxine is an artificial hormone replacement medication, which cannot achieve a complete cure for hypothyroidism. It can only regulate the indicators in a conventional manner. Once the medication is stopped, the disease will recur, and long-term use carries a certain degree of dependence, with the dosage gradually increasing.Gynecological diseases are a type of gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness.
