A member asked:
What are the side effects of i131 ablation therapy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroidism: Usually I-131 treatment is used for treatment of hyperthyroidism. It is quite safe but often leads to hypothyroidism 12 plus months later. Hypothyroidism is easily treated with a once a day supplement of thyroid.
