A member asked:

Could hypothyroidism cause you to become permanently infertile?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism cannot cause complete infertility but may contribute to the underlying condition. It may cause you to miscarry a normal pregnancy as well. It is easily diagnosed and corrected so you can contact your physician to get this taken care of quickly.
