A member asked:
Does removing your thyroid weaken your immune system or make you immunocompromised?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. Thyroid gland is not part of the immune system. However, thyroid deficiency can cause other health disorders. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
