Is there any chance of fertility issues due to thyroid cancer?
Patient: Hi. I am twenty five. I have been trying to conceive for almost a year now with no luck. I have just recently been diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. They have removed the right side of my thyroid where the cancer was and I am returning for surgery again next week when they will remove the left side of my thyroid. They are then going to start me on 100mg of eltroxcin. I am wondering if my fertitilty issues had anything to do with having thyroid cancer or will my fertility chances improve once I am on eltoxcin? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have thyroid cancer. Papillary carcinoma of thyroid will not affect the fertility directly.  But you should check your T3, T4, & TSH level.  If they are affected then if czn lead to infertility.  So consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
