papillary carcinoma / menstrual cycle
by thordis, Jan 08, 2008 01:05PM
Please help,
I just got my whole thyroid removed due to papillary carcinoma. I have been on a really heavy period for 7 days before the surgery and my OB Gyn just told me to get my thyroid fixed and put me on a birthcontrol pill to stop the bleeding. the bleeding never stopped. it is just light, but I have been on a light period for over 2 weeks now, despite the birthcontrol pills.
my endocronologist thinks that that has nothing to do with my thyroid.
how is the thyroid related to the periods and what should I do? I am off my Levoxyl now also, because I am waiting for the iodine treatment.
thanks for any help

Going off thyroid meds can really mess with your menstrual cycle but bleeding for three weeks sounds like more of an OB/GYN problem.
Hang in there sis! When is your RAI?
