A member asked:
Do you recommend stop taking levothyroxine if having cervical cell changes as it speeds up metabolism of cells?

No unrelated: Your thyroid hormone affects the metabolism of your cells. Changes in your cervical cells are not due to metabolism. Not taking your thyroid hormone will make you sick and your cervical changes will continue
