A member asked:
How long does it take to start trying to conceive after having an total thyroidectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Total thyroidectomy: After having your entire thyroid out, there will be some post-operative activity restrictions in terms of activity. Usually, within a couple of weeks, you can resume normal activities, including sexual activity. The other part of your question is about thyroid hormone replacement. You will certainly need to start thyroid hormone, which is usually started shortly after surgery.
